How to Score a Diving Competition

Suggestions for Score Cards

Blanks for voluntary dives to be supplied by the club holding the competition. After filling them out and signing them, competitors deliver them to the clerk of the course. The announcer announces each voluntary dive from these blanks when the respective competitor’s turn comes, and the diving judges must see that the dive nominated shall be performed. After the competition these blanks are turned over to the diving scorers.
