Shouldn't the Water Polo just be classed with the rest of the World Aquatics Championships?

The prediction contest for the World Aquatics currently only has swimming (pool) events listed. Diving, marathon swimming and artistic swimming are not included. It hasn't been the norm for these events to be part of the prediction contest. 

 

Usually we have also had a separate prediction contest for the men's and women's water polo tournaments.

Ah, that's a shame. Surprised you don't do the Marathon Swimming along with the pool events as half the swimmers that do the marathon also do the long distance pool events, maybe that's summat you could do this year.

As there are only 5 events in marathon swimming, I will maybe consider to include those evetns in the contest.

If there is a tie for one of the 5 spots, is there a tiebreaker or will both the ones that are tied be chosen?

In case two or more events are tied for the 5th spot, a random draw will be made to decide the fifth prediction contest.
