Did this on the US swimming forum before - so maybe people here will be interested as well.
Name the top 2 finishers in all events + the time of the SECOND place finisher (what it takes to make the team) - order of finish is not important (yet, but will be a few weeks later).
One point for each correct name and 1 point if the time is within 2/10 per 100 (plus or minus; 4/10 per 200 and so on). I know - leaving out the relays, but that's a little too much to handle.
Tie-breaker: Guess Time for Susan Von der Lippe in the 100 Fly (this is a Masters forum after all - and no offense to Kevin Doak, but she is the oldest participant as of today)
PRIZE: Title of Ultimate Swim Fan (and swim geek) and rights of never being questioned on this forum about an opinion for 1 year !!!
Entries: Post in this Thread by evening of Trials in this format (last name only - please)

This seems to have dropped off the radar a little, but I just went through and calculated everyone's points. Here's the standings after last night's (Friday) finals:
mazzy 35
Warren 33
talne261 32
KeithM 32
knelson 31
justforfun 30
craig68 29
ehoch 22*
* only submitted men's picks
There's no Vanderkay either, but lots of people picked him. :)
I also gave the benefit of the doubt to craig68 who picked six people in the 100 and 200 frees. I assumed the first two names listed were his picks for the first two places.
I was amazed how many times people missed out by a tiny margin on the bonus point for the time pick. There were several instances where the pick was off by just .01 more than what was required to get the point.
Wow, I'm leading... :)
BTW About my prediction 1500m Men Jenson is misspelled, There's no jenson at all, it's Jensen. it's a clear oversight so I wish that the correction will be accepted ;).
