Dives are classified into six types based on the take-off position, which are, forward, back, inward, reverse, twist, and armstand. In competitions, divers get six attempts to perform one dive of each type. Dives are judged based on three aspects, take-off, flight, and entry, and points are awarded. Points awarded also take into account the difficulty of moves performed on-flight. Synchronized dives are additionally judged based on identical movements. The diver with the most points for all six dives totaled is declared as the winner.
