This is the first part of my annual US National Championships predicitons in which I attempt to predict every single National Championship winner. I will break it up a into individual days this year, so it’s a bit easier to digest. To get things going here’s how I did last year:
Points System:
5 Points – Correct Prediction
-1 Point – Each place my prediction finishes out of first.
-3 Points – DNF
0 Points – DNS
1 Point – If I mention someone and they finish on the podium (except my prediction, they follow the negative point rule).
