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 at 8pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, August 8th, and at that time, we will post everyone’s picks for them to see.

You CAN go in and edit your responses up until 6 PM on Tuesday. 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

I thought it said it was open until 8 PM Pacific? Just tried to enter and it says the entries are closed.

I just tried to enter well ahead of 8pm Pacific time and it wouldn’t take my entry. Bummed!

Placing by PanPac rule, right? Even though three Americans place top 3, then the third one will compete in B..I almost picked three Americans, but by that rule, I need to pick two maximum. Right?

Echoing the question above, for the Timed Final events like the 1500, if three swimmers from the same country finish in the Top 3, will you drop the 3rd swimmer for the Pick Em results?

If you look at the 2014 Results, they have 3 USA swimmers finishing 1-4-5 in the Women’s Timed Final 800, so they didn’t kick the fifth place finisher out of the top 8. Do we assume that they are going to behave the same way this year?

How do we edit our picks? Last time I just re-submitted the whole thing with new picks… it looks like it worked because I am only on the list once. Is there a better way?
Thanks 🙂

Is there a way to pick the open water swimmers for the distance events? I specifically wanted to pick Ashley Twichell, but she’s not in the pick ‘em. Did I miss something and she chose not to enter the pool races?

She’s in there, just under ‘Ashley Grace Wall’. Seeded 2nd in the mile and 7th in 800.

Does the “2 in the A final” rule still apply to distance events?
