CLICK HERE TO ENTER!
SCORING SYSTEM
Correctly picking a swimmer to place:
- 1st – 7 points
- 2nd – 5 points
- 3rd – 4 points
- 4th – 3 points
Correctly picking a swimmer to place in the top 4, but putting them in the wrong spot, will earn you 1 point.
Picks will close on the evening of Thursday, August 2nd, and at that time, we will post everyone’s picks for them to see.
You CAN go in and edit your responses up until the pick deadline. You can also use this “edit responses” ability to go in and print or save your answers.
The tie-breaker for prizes, if necessary, will be the most correctly-picked winners in the relevant time period, then 2nd-place finishers, then 3rd-place finishers, etc. in the relevant time period.
OFFICIAL RULES
Anybody is eligible to play, but only certain people are eligible for prizes (which are still being determined). For starters, only one entry per person is allowed. If we discover that you have made multiple entries, we may disqualify all of your entries.

And about the prizes???
Where do I see my choices
How do you go back in and edit your picks? I just get the submit form again. I haven’t been able to locate an “edit responses” link.
Same!!
The worst part of this pick ’em is the relays. It’s tough enough to know who are the individual 3rd and 4th best in each event, now I have to know who the 3rd and 4th best relays are?? YIKES!
I forget, is this kind of like Pan Pacs, where only two people per country can be in the Final?
Yeah, but only 4 per nation can enter in prelims, unlike an unlimited (I think) in pan pacs
So, European residents can play but not win prizes?
That’s correct. Anybody is welcome to play!
There’s some legal issues involved with giving prizes away in Europe that we just don’t want to go anywhere near.
Ok, doesn’t matter win prizes.
How to send the picks?
The entry form is linked at the big red “Click Here to Enter” at the top
Saw it: read the article too in a hurry.
Thanks!
OK. I admit this pick’em is more difficult than I thought.
To be fair, the medals look like they’ll be decided between 5 or 6 swimmers in most of the individual events.
Can we please get Mizuno to sponsor this… would easily be the most hype contest if the winner of each day got a cap or goggles and the overall got a suit…
