SCORING SYSTEM
Correctly picking a swimmer to place earns:
- 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.
Team picks will be streamlined with 10 points awarded for picking the winning team and 5 additional points for each correctly-guessed team after that:
- 1st – 10
- 2nd-10th – 5
Note that on the Google Doc, you must scroll to the left to reveal the column to make your #10 team selection.
The Google Form allows you to edit your responses up until the form closes. You can also use this “edit responses” ability to print or save your answers.
For team selections, you can use the “Unselect” column if you want to switch your picks after they’re first made. If you don’t change your mind, feel free to leave these blank.
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’t wait to make some incredibly biased picks toward the swimmers/teams I like the best
When Facebook was college only and ran its own bracket challenges, the highest-ranked colleges were always the ones that had teams do the best. If your college made a Cinderella run to the Elite 8, you can guarantee that your school would be top 3 in the rankings.
Roger, we are go for lift off
Burnt Orange? Wrong color.
I’m liking the charitable free 10 points for all participants.
