The Pick ‘Em Contest for the 2015 Women’s NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships are here! Swimming’s version of basketball’s bracket pools, you can now pick against swim fans around the world for the chance to win prizes.
Scoring
We’re trying a new scoring methodology this year. Correctly picking the winner of a race will earn you 5 points. Correctly picking a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place finisher will earn 4 points. 1 bonus point will be awarded for each swimmer correctly picked to finish in the top 4
Rules
Only 1 entry per person. We will validate that each winner had only 1 entry before awarding any prizes. While everyone can enter, to win a prize you must be a legal resident of the United States. Winners are responsible for how any prizes might accept their amateurism. If any winner is ineligible to win a prize, we will give the prize to the next highest finisher.
The contest will close on Thursday morning, prior to the first races at the 2015 Women’s NCAA Championships.

How do we view our own picks? I didn’t write them down – is there a link to sign in?
I would like to know this as well! thanks!
Do relays still count for double?
I didn’t write my picks down. Is there a way to view our picks? Not nearly as much fun if we don’t know who to root for!
Pick ’em player – we’ll throw them up now.
Im trying to make my selections but i cant find where to make them. Has is closed yet because racing starts at 11?
Hi James, yes, selections have already closed.
Any possible way they can be opened up until 11 am so I can make selections?
Has it closed already? Racing won’t begin for a few hours.
Here’s my strategy: I’ll always pick the Canadians to win. Unfortunately, this is not often a winning strategy but this year, Missy Franklin will be an honorary Canadian in my books.
I won last year by picking many Canadians! I’ve had the great pleasure of training a couple days at the Vancouver National Centre and got to see how technical they train and it works!
I look forward to submitting my picks and finishing in the bottom 10% as per usual.
Me- no smash.
Right there with ya
Also Cal isn’t listed as the top relay for the 800 free relay. Considering they have the NCAA record, I assume they are the top seed.
Cal didn’t enter with their record time.
