| The diver jumps from a flexible board measuring 4.8m long and at least 50cm wide and sitting 3m above the surface of the water, or, from a rigid platform situated 10m above the water. The figures and routines performed during the dive are marked out of a possible 10 points by a panel of seven judges (the best and worse scores are disregarded) on the quality of the approach, the jump, the execution and the elegance with which the diver enters the water. The score obtained is multiplied by an already established technical difficulty coefficient.For the synchronised event a pair of divers jump from a special board. Scores are decided by a panel of nine judges, with five judging the synchronised aspect of the dive, the remaining four (two per diver) judging the execution. The initial five judges do not score on the execution of the dive. As with individual diving, the best and worse scores are disregarded. For synchronised events, eight pairs of divers take part in each event. More |
