2016 U.S. Olympic Trials “Guess The Times” Contest Entries

SwimSwam has two Pick ‘Em contests going on for 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials, and this one is the “Guess The Times” version. As a reminder, you can read about all the rules here.

The scoring is straight-forward. We’ll take the actual time for each placing (or swimmer in the case of the bonus questions), and figure out the absolute-value percentage of each player’s pick from those results. We’ll sum up those absolute value percentages (over or under doesn’t matter), and whoever was the closest average absolute value percentage wins! Time predictions are based on the final round, with no regard to any semi-finals, preliminary heats, or swim-offs.

This year – we’ll be tracking the scoring every night on a big board at SwimSwam’s official Omaha HQ – Local Beer, Patio, and Kitchen.
