When you start jumping you may find that the draw of rivalries is calling you. Plunging rivalries depend on a framework where jumpers are scored on variables including execution and level of trouble. 

To clarify the plunging scoring framework, first, you need to comprehend the succession of a jump. 

There are four basic parts to a dive: 

  • Way to deal with the plunge — the forward advances taken by a jumper around the finish of the board. This typically includes at least three stages. To begin, the jumper's beginning position must be erect, with arms either direct, to the sides or over the head. Judges are searching for the way to deal with the finish of the board to be smooth and straight. 


  • Take-off — soon after the methodology, the jumper bounces, or springs, as far as possible of the board, taking off from one foot and arriving on two feet, and afterward leaving from the load up. The take-off must clear the board by a specific security edge. 



  • Execution — the doing of the jump where the jumper will hope to display legitimate strategy and elegance as they skim into the water. Execution of the plunge's segments must be performed with control and held long enough for the judges to unmistakably recognize them. 


  • Section — the point in a make a plunge which the jumper reaches the water. The section can happen feet-first or head-first, with the perfect passage being with the body almost vertically straight. The feet ought to be as one and toes pointed. The fewer sprinkles made on section the better. 


What's more, the scoring in jumping works like this … 

In focused jumping, brings up of 10 are granted by every one of the judges. In an Olympic challenge, there are seven judges, who each score a plunge dependent on the four components of: approach, take-off, execution and passage into the water. At other challenge occasions, it is standard to have five judges. 

Each plunge is considered regardless of the level of trouble of the jump. (This is considered later by the tax). 

Nine judges survey the synchronized jumping. Four fret about how the individual does a jump, while five survey the synchronization — how much the pair reflect each other's developments, including timing, stature, separation, and speed of pivot. 

In the two sorts of rivalry, the most noteworthy and least checks are ignored, and the scores from the rest of the judges are included. This score is then duplicated by the level of trouble (or 'levy') of the jump, Ufa which depends on the number and kinds of moves endeavored, for example, somersaults, pikes, tucks and contorts. 

Judges score in entire or half focuses along the accompanying lines: 

  • Completely failed — 0 points


  • Unsatisfactory — 0.5 to 2 points


  • Deficient — 2.5 to 4.5 points


  • Satisfactory — 5 to 6 points


  • Good — 6.5 to 8 points


  • Very good — 8.5 to 10 point
  • Degree of dive difficulty (tariff)


The level of trouble is a numerical worth given to a jump, which is increased by a judge's score of a plunge. The level of trouble depends on a recipe that includes the various parts of a jump. Clearly the more moves endeavored in a jump, the more noteworthy the duty and accordingly the more prominent the potential for scoring more focuses. Nonetheless, with this comes the potential for additionally turning out badly. 

The degree of difficulty ranges from 1.2 to 3.6.

How to work out a score from a dive

A model: a jumper plays out a forward somersault with fold from the 3m board. This conveys a level of trouble of 1.5. 

The jumper gets scores of 8.5, 8, 8, 8, 7.5, 7.5, 7 from the seven judges. The high (8.5) and the low (7) are disregarded, and aggregate of the staying five scores is worked out. 

The aggregate (39) is increased by the level of trouble (1.5). That figure (58.5) is increased by 0.6 to give the general point score for the plunge of 35.1 focuses.
