By Meet:
1. Three best performances (according to the FINA Points Table), with the following score:
Best performance: 24 points
2nd best performance: 18 points

– In case of tie, the second best performance is taken into account (as per the present rules)
2. Medallists in all individual events, with the following score:
Gold medal: 12 points
Silver medal: 9 points
Bronze medal: 6 points
3. Bonus for World Record performance: 20 points
By Cluster:

– In case of tie with one of the swimmer having a WR performance: first is the swimmer with WR performance.
– In case of tie with swimmers having WR performance: first is the swimmer with best WR performance (in accordance to the FINA Points Table).
– In case of tie with Performance and Ranking points: first is the swimmer with the higher number of Ranking points.
– In case of tie with Ranking points: first is the swimmer with the higher number of Ranking points in any of the cluster’s leg.
2. To win cluster points, a swimmer MUST compete on all stops of that cluster.
Overall:

World Record Bonus points: For each new World Record, 20 bonus points will be awarded to the swimmer in addition to any ranking points earned at the Event. For any World Record equalled, 10 bonus points will be awarded to the swimmer in addition to any ranking points earned at the Event.

I think there are no points for Singapore, only prize monies…
Did Chad LeClos compete in Japan? I don’t think so can’t be eligable for cluster bonus for Japan/Doha/Dubai if he was not in Japan.
Good call. Updated points!
