Put your swimming knowledge to the test by entering our annual Women’s NCAA Championship Pick’Em Contest! The contest is now live and will be open until the afternoon on Wednesday, Mar. 19, a few hours before the championship kicks off.
Not sure who to pick? We’ll be publishing event-by-event previews and updating our preview index.
Read on for a refresher on the scoring system and prize eligibility.
SCORING SYSTEM
Correctly picking a swimmer to place earns:
- 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
Note that on the Google Doc, you must scroll to the left to reveal the column to make your #10 team selection.
Picks will close at 5 pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, March 19th, and at that time, we will post everyone’s picks for them to see.
The Google Form allows you to edit your responses up until the form closes. You can also use this “edit responses” ability to 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.
