Dual Meet Scoring
Points are awarded in live heats only as follows:
Individual events:
- 5 points for a 1st place finish
- 3 points for a second place finish
- 1 point for a 3rd place finish
However, one team cannot “sweep” an event - that is if one team gets 1st, 2nd and 3rd places, they will be awarded 8 points total, with one point going to the other team IF the other team has a live (not exhibition) swimmer finish legally in the heat.
Relays:
In the relays, only the first place finishing team is awarded 7 points for first. No other points are awarded in relays.
