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)

We've the same swimmers, so only the times can make the difference.
KeithM can only tie Mazzy if he is right about 1500 free time, but he'll lost at tie-break
Knelson can only tie Mazzy if he is right about both 50 & 1500 times, but he'll lost at tie-break.
So look like I've just won a very thight race :woot:
