I cannot make out what the position is for the winner of the Continental competition, if she/he has already gained a place in the World Champs - does the NOC get another place (subject to not already having two), even though it is the same diver, or does it go to the next NOC/diver not yet qualified? And why is it so difficult?
Two excerpts from the Qualification document. First:
"Section B3. Type of Allocation of Quota Places:
The quota place is allocated to the NOC."
Second:
"Section F. Reallocation of Quota Places
If an athlete who has obtained a quota place in accordance with FINA Rule BL 9.3.8.3.1 has not been entered to the Olympic Games, the quota place shall be reallocated to the next highest placed NOC from the respective event, at the FINA Diving World Cup 2020, not yet qualified "
Is it the athlete or the NOC? So, if Tom Daley of GBR fell ill and couldn't make Tokyo, would it be another diver from GB or the next NOC from the Diving World Cup?

Fair enough mrv86, thanks for that. That makes sense, although it would be better if they made that explicit in the wording.
