#Multiply by the degree of difficulty (DD). Each attempted dive has a difficulty rating assigned in advance according to specific rules. Even if the divers did not manage to complete the dive perfectly, their score is multiplied by this degree of difficulty. | #Multiply by the degree of difficulty (DD).

| − | #Multiply by 0.6. To get the final score, multiply your answer by 0.6 (or 3/5).<ref>http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Diving/About-Us/Diving-101/Judging-and-Scoring</ref> This makes up for the fact that synchronized divers receive 5 judge scores (after discarding outliers), while individual divers only receive 3. After this adjustment, scores from both types of events fall in the same range. | + | #Multiply by 0.6.

| − | *In extreme cases, the referee can declare a maximum execution score for a dive. All execution scores above that maximum are lowered to that maximum before the final score is calculated. For example, if a diver's arms are not stretched beyond the head in a head-first entry, the maximum judge score is 4.5.<ref>http://www.fina.org/sites/default/files/finadvrules_20152017.pdf</ref> | + | *In extreme cases, the referee can declare a maximum execution score for a dive.
