To help celebrate the beginning of the second annual Swatch Skiers Cup (which kicked off this weekend in Valle Nevado, Chile), the good people at Swatch want to hook one of you up with a free Swatch Skiers Cup special edition watch, and all you have to do to win is list your own fantasy teams!

To enter, post your fantasy teams in this thread before this Thursday, September 6th (only one entry per username). You must pick eight riders for each team (Team Americas and Team Europe), and each rider for Team Americas must be from the Western Hemisphere, while each rider for Team Europe must be from the Eastern Hemisphere. Also keep in mind that your team can include riders who are already competing at this year's Swatch Skiers Cup (click here to check out the teams) or not.

Once you've created your teams, the captains of Team Americas and Team Europe (Mark Abma and Sverre Lillequist) will go through this thread and pick the post that includes their favorites fantasy teams, and then we'll announce the winner at the conclusion of the second annual Swatch Skiers Cup on Sunday, September 9th.

On behalf of everyone at Swatch and Newschoolers, good luck to everyone who enters (and have fun!), and stay tuned for regular coverage on the Swatch Skiers Cup from Valle Nevado, Chile.

We pick 8 riders? Out of the 8 riders? In order of their placing after the event? As in predicting?
