The Good Judgment project has started publishing a leaderboard. FWIW, as of this writing I am in pole position with a "Brier score" of 0.18, with numbers 2 and 3 at 0.2 and 0.23 respectively. (I'm not sure whether other participants are also from LW.)

(ETA: dethroned! I'm #2 now, #1 has a score of .16.)

Team scores seem a bit below the best individual scores: 0.32, 0.33 and 0.36 for the best three teams.

From the emails I've been getting from the organizers, they have trouble sustaining participation from all who signed up; poor participation is leading to poor forecasting scores.

FYI the leaderboard rankings are fake, or at least generated strategically to provide users with specific information. I am near the top of my own leaderboard, while my friend sees his own name but not mine. Also, my Brier is listed at 0.19, strikingly close to yours. I wonder if they are generated with some apparent distribution.

My take is that the leader stats are some kind of specific experimental treatment they're toying with.
