Math


Seven judges are used in individual competition. When the judges awards are given, the high and low scores are eliminated and the remaining five scores are totaled. The number is multiplied by the degree of difficulty rating assigned to the dive. The DD is predetermined with a table range from 1.2 to 3.7 in one-tenth increments (FINA springboard DD/FINA platform DD). This is then multiplied by 0.6.

There are nine judges in synchronized diving, two judges rate one individual diver, two judges rate the second individual diver, and five judges rate the synchronization of the pair. The high and low individual scores and the high and low synchronization scores are thrown out. The final score is determined using the formula above.

Example
1. Awards: 6-5-5-5-5-5-4
2. "6" and "4" are dropped
3. Total of remaining scores = 25
4. Multiplied by DD (2.0) = 50
5. Multiplied by 0.6 = 30 points
