Paul Short Prediction Contest

By Jarrett Felix
The crew and I will be doing a variety of Paul Short preview pieces in anticipation of the big day, but I wanted to give you guys the opportunity to enter into a prediction contest! The rules are outlined below.

A full list of high school entries can be found here, but also check out LXV+ for a link to the full list of high school and college entries.

So here’s the rules for the Paul Short Prediction Contest …

You are given 11 points to pick a fantasy team for this meet. Like on websites like fanduel, each runner/team has different point values and you can use your points however you like to fill your team. Here is what you will need:

Brown Race- 5 Runners, 2 Teams (can buy up to 7 Runners, 3 Teams)

White Race- 2 Runners, 1 Team (can buy up to 4 Runners, 2 Teams)

You will then be scored based on how well your team does relative to the competition. Note that you can “buy” extra runners/teams if you so choose as insurance in case somebody has an off day or to increase your chances of hitting on a sleeper. Multiple teams can have the same runners/teams on their individual squads.

Here is how each runner is valued (based on Tuesday’s lists):

Runners

Top 10 on ET Top 50: 5 points
Top 25 on ET Top 50: 3 points
Top 50 on ET Top 50: 2 points
Honorable Mention ET Top 50: 1 points
Other: 0 points

Teams
