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.
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 16th, 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.

Who else has Ellen Walshe winning the 4IM / 1 fly combo?
My guess is nobody. But I can look to be sure 🙂
As a cal fan, it was strange leaving them out of a few events!
I found myself picking chalk more this year than years past. Exception being Maggie and Michigan relays because of her.
Does SwimSwam pick’em comply with NIL rules?
It is not up to them to determine for you.
I’m not trying to be mean. You just have to take on the responsibility yourself.
Which relay are Stanford going to punt?
They’ll stick with what they did at PAC12s and leave Huske and Ruck off of the 200 Medley. 1:34 isn’t exactly punting though.
I don’t like that the 200 medley is put in the old spot for order of events on the google form
Maggie gonna carry me to victory
I’m certainly not betting against her!
Kate looks better this year. Watch out in the 50!
You’re right, that’s true. I have Kate number one in everything. Part of that’s not rational though: I think it’s so incredible that somebody is the number one seed in both the 50 and the 200 breast that I want her to win it all.
She won’t beat Maggie.
