JUDGING DIVES:

As a judge:

    1. Your job is to evaluate a performance.
    2. You are asked to be fair and impartial.

Improper judging takes the competition away from the competitors.

In order to meet those expectations a judge must be:

    1. well versed with the rules.
    2. able to pay attention while serving on a panel.
    3. able to listen and understand a dive as announced.
    4. able to apply the rules to what you are seeing.

Example: Pg. 64 B Judging, 10 - 9 Exceptional No visible flaws.

Is this a matter of difficulty in regard to:
    1. Perception and Recognition? (Dive Silhouettes Pg. 67 & 68)
    2. Ignorance or Inexperience in applying the rules. (Practical aspect.)
