1. Forward group: The diver faces the front of the board and rotates toward the water. Dives in this group vary from simple front dives to difficult forward, four and one half somersaults.
2. Backward group: Dives in the backward group begin with the diver on the end of the board, with his or her back to the water, so as to rotate away from the board.
3. Reverse group: Formerly called “gainers,” these dives begin with the diver facing the front of the board but then rotates toward the board.
4. Inward group: The diver stands on the end of the board with his or her back to the water and rotates toward the board.
5. Twisting group: Any dive that uses a twist (excluding arm-stands) is included in this group. There are four types of twists: forward, backward, reverse, and inward.
6. Arm-stand group: The diver assumes a handstand position on the edge of the platform before the dive. (Arm-stand positions are never used on the springboard.)
Scoring Diving
Scoring Diving
Each judge scores a dive between zero and 10 points, in half-point increments. Scores are defined as follows:
10: Excellent
8½-9½: Very good
7-8: Good
5-6½: Satisfactory
2½-4½: Deficient
½-2: Unsatisfactory
0: Completely failed
Judges evaluate the following parts of a dive to determine an overall score:
Approach: Three or more steps forward to the end of the board before the hurdle and takeoff. Should be smooth but forceful, showing good form.
Takeoff: A diver’s lift from the board prior to execution of the dive. Must show control and balance, plus the proper angle of landing and leaving for the particular dive being attempted.
Elevation: The amount of spring or lift a diver receives from the takeoff greatly affects the appearance of the dive. Since more height means more time, a higher dive generally affords greater accuracy and smoothness of movement.
Execution: The dive itself. Form: A judge watches for proper mechanical performance, technique, form, and grace.
Entry: The entry into the water is significant because it’s the last thing the judge sees. Judges favor a graceful, vertical entry along with a minimal amount of splash.
