The 2022 Men’s NCAA Championship Pick ‘Em Contest Is Here!

2022 MEN’S NCAA SWIMMING & DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

It’s bold prediction time… we’re officially launching the 2022 Men’s NCAA Championship Pick ‘Em Contest with a lineup of great prizes! This year’s contest is sponsored by GMX, which will provide the prizes to both our daily and overall grand prize winner.

Not sure who to pick? Check out our official event-by-event previews (coming soon).

SCORING SYSTEM

Correctly picking a swimmer to place in one of the top four spots will earn you the following number of points:

  • 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.

Following last year’s format, our 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 23rd, 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.

Can you participate in both (men and women)? I submitted men’s and it is not allowing me to submit my women’s form.

There’s no reason entering one should impact the other. There’s likely some other problem – scroll back through and make sure you fully filled out the men’s one maybe?
