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.
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
Picks will close at 4 pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, March 15th, and at that time, we will post everyone’s picks for them to see.
By using the Google Forms format, you can go in and edit your responses up until 4 pm on Wednesday. You can also use this “edit responses” ability to go in and 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.

Come on. We need WAY TO Early check the points for the first two relays. Where is the link for the list of entries? I’m usually in the bottom 10% and I think I may be above average right now.
i think a correct guess of the times should be added to the google form to the 100th of a second. Also it only lets you pick 1 through 9 for team placements.
or at least a base time with slower than or faster than selection
Now we need the events prediction video from the guys
Will Coleman and Braden do another event-by-event prediction video? It helped guide my pick-em!
if i bank on Tennessee having a similar performance to last year then i should be good >:3
I think the safest bet is to just pick any UVA swimmer. I mean they are so much more advanced than any other program out there. Lets go ladies!
Let’s Go Hoos!!!
