At each meet of the World Cup circuit in 2010, the FINA Points Table[2] was used to rank all swim performances at the meet. The top 10 men and top 10 women were then awarded World Cup points. Bonus points were awarded for a world record broken (20 points) or equalled (10 points).[3] The number of World Cup points awarded was doubled for the final meet of the World Cup in Stockholm.
