For anyone curious, the tie in the 200 IM was scored as 6 points for a 1st or 2nd place pick of either Will Licon or Mark Szaranek. If you’re looking at your entries in the spreadsheet, to make scoring easier, I replaced any picks of Will Licon or Mark Szaranek with their two names combined in the same cell, so it’s no longer possible to tell which of the two you picked.

There were some surprises according to the aggregate picks. Only 2% of entries had Mark Szaranek 2nd or better in the 200 IM. Over 90% of entries had Chase Kalisz in their top 4; he was 5th. Only 2.4% of entries had USC in the top 4 in the 400 medley relay. The biggest favorites came through. Caeleb Dressel was picked first in the 50 free by 98.7% ree and Ryan Held was pick 2nd in the 50 free by 72.8%
