How does dive meet scoring work?
Judges examine four parts of each dive: the starting position, the take-off, the flight, and the entry into the water. Each judge’s impression of all four parts then must be combined to arrive at an overall score, outlined on the following scale. To find the overall score, the judges' scores are added together, and then multiplied by the degree of difficulty (DD) rating of the dive. CBS Sports Video Explanation.
