2014 Mens NCAA Championships Pick ‘Em Contest: Day 1 Scores

Day one of the 2014 Men’s NCAA Championships brought fast swimming and plenty of drama, including more than a dozen relay disqualifications that had a significant on the team scores, but more importantly (kidding), on everyone’s Pick ‘Em scores.

Excluding clear duplicates and people with no entries at all, we had 794 entrants in the contest!  Thanks to everyone who entered!  The winner of day one was “Cwhite” with 35 points.  Cwhite capitalized on picking Cal to win both relays, while also correctly selecting “OTHER” to finish fourth in the 200 free relay and 500 freestyle.  Ncatano was second with 34 points.

Day 1 By the Numbers

  • 628 of 794 entrants had the Auburn Tigers repeating in the 200 freestyle relay.  Just 78 people picked the Cal Bears to win it.
  • 656 of 794 entrants had Connor Jaeger repeating in the 500 freestyle.  Just 21 selected Cristian Quintero.  In total, 769 people had either Dan Wallace or Jaeger winning.
  • 542 of 794 entrants had David Nolan repeating in the 200 IM.  Just 19 selected Marcin Cieslak.
  • A majority of participants (410) had Bradley Tandy winning the 50.  However, Tandy tied with Kristian Gkolomeev, meaning “OTHER” in our scoring surveygot the win, as well.  Only two people, “jarrettbrown” and “StarfishPres”, had “OTHER” winning.
  • Finally, in the potential best race that never was due to Arizona’s unfortunate prelim DQ, a whopping 712 of 794 people who picked the Wildcats to win the 400 medley were left out to dry.  The champion Cal Bears only had 26 votes for first place.

A reminder of the scoring system:

SCORING

  • 1st – 4 points
  • 2nd – 4 points
  • 3rd – 3 points
  • 4th – 2 points
  • Correctly Picking “Other” in correct spot – 3 bonus points, plus earned points
  • Successfully predicting a swimmer in the top 4, but in the wrong spot – 1 bonus point
