REGULATIONS
Judges
Five international judges observe each dive and
independently award scores unrelated the dive's difficulty. The
score range is 0 to 10, with 1/2 marks in between from 0 - 5 and
1/4 marks in between from 5 - 10.
Points
The highest and the lowest marks
are eliminated, and the sum of the remaining scores is multiplied
with the degree of difficulty to determine the final points awarded
for each dive.
Protest
In
case that an athlete, a judge or a WHDF official recognizes a
failed dive, an error or an irregularity that could have
influence on the ranking, he can announce a protest to the WHDF
board. This protest must be presented in written form no later
than two hours after the last dive and must contain a complete
description of the occurrence. The Head Judge, the WHDF
technical director and the athlete, elected during the pre-event
meeting will together decide whether the protest is reasonable.
All Video material will be submitted under such circumstances.
