[header] How to calculate diving scores [title] Write down the execution scores. [step] Each judge rates the dive from 0 (" completely failed ") to 10 (" excellent "), using half-point increments. This is based on how well the diver performs, from his starting position to entry into the water. 
The judges do not take difficulty into account for this score. [substeps] Example: a diver receives execution scores of 6.5 , 7.0 , 7.0 , 7.5 , 7.5 , 8.0, and 8.0.
