6.5 Scoring Strategy

Athletes must balance difficulty against execution risk. A dive with DD 3.5 performed with mediocre execution (average judge score of 6.0) yields 3 × 6.0 × 3.5 = 63.0 points, while a simpler dive with DD 2.5 performed excellently (average 8.5) yields 3 × 8.5 × 2.5 = 63.75 points.
