What is the OHIO Prediction Tournament?

Starting in October, the Knowing the Future theme is sponsoring the “OHIO Prediction Tournament” along with accompanying activities to help students make better predictions.

The tournament has its own website, ohio.cultivateforecasts.com, and opens on Friday, Oct. 7. The tournament will run at least through the end of the fall semester. Faculty and staff also are welcome to compete; there will be separate prizes for predictors in those categories.

Knowing the Future theme logoThe OHIO Prediction Tournament is aimed toward students of all majors with predictions made on a wide range of topics including politics, economics, popular entertainment, and many more. Questions will be generated by Ohio University faculty and released weekly throughout the tournament.

The tournament is user-friendly and encourages students to apply the analytical skills they learn within their major to problems outside of their own discipline. Tournament scoring is based on both accuracy and confidence. The OHIO Prediction Tournament has a total prize-money pool of more than $750 to be distributed across weekly and overall winners.

Two in-person events will be held as a part of the OHIO Prediction Tournament. The first event will be on Monday, Oct. 10, and features Senior Vice President of Good Judgment Inc. Warren Hatch. The second event will be Tuesday, Oct. 25, and features Adam Siegel, CEO and founder of Cultivate Labs, the company hosting the OHIO Prediction Tournament. Both events will take place at 6 p.m., location to be announced.
