Correctly picking a swimmer to place in the top 5 or 8, depending on the event, but putting them in the wrong spot, will earn you 1 point.
Picks will close at 9AM Central Time on Sunday, June 13, and at that time, we will post everyone’s picks for them to see.
You CAN go in and edit your responses up until 9 AM on Sunday. 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.

I can’t find my pics on the spreadsheet which looks incomplete to me. Where do we find a full spreadsheet?????
Sorry if it’s elsewhere, where are all the entries?
where can we find the final Pick Em spreadsheet with final entries? I forgot to write my answers down and am trying to see how I do through prelims 🙂
The form to enter isn’t working. Is that happening to anyone else?
I just tested it, and it’s working fine for me.
It’s not just him. The form is practically unusable. Entirely unresponsive for 15+ seconds after attempting to input any information or after making any selection.
It technically works but holy cow is it laggy. Could take 15 minutes or more to fill out
I can’t wait to get 3rd one day and completely bomb the rest!
Oh yes! Same here😁
Its not letting me enter my screen name and name. Is anyone else having this problem?
is the google form loading reallllyyy slowing for anyone else?
