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 8:00 am Eastern Time on Tuesday, June 27, and at that time, we will post everyone’s picks for them to see.

You CAN go in and edit your responses up until 8:00 am 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.

Can there be an added section of predicting the winning time of each event to the hundredth of a second and if you get the time exactly correct it’s plus 8 points or something like that?

If you predict the men’s 100 breaststroke time down to the hundredth of a second I will mail you $10,000

Let’s say 58.00 to 59.20 is the guaranteed range. 1/120 chance ain’t bad…

Is anyone going to fix the times?
Why do some of the 50m events have 10 times?

In the past, was it not the top 6 selections for the relay selection races (M/W 100/200 free)?

Or has it always been just the top 4 in pick ems

Do we have confirmation that Annie Lazor is swimming this meet, or has she retired to take up the Florida coaching position?

I believe the winner of the 100 is guaranteed the second spot as long as they have the A cut

When are post-scratch psych sheets released, if ever?

I feel like there should be a gap b/n 1st and 2nd like we typically do for meet scoring. 7-5-4-3 or something similar
