Page "Diving" Paragraph 32
from
Wikipedia
To win dive meets, divers create a dive list in advance of the meet.
To win the meet the diver must accumulate more points than other divers.
Often, simple dives with low DDs will look good to spectators but will not win meets.
The competitive diver will attempt the highest DD dives possible with which they can achieve consistent, high scores.
If divers are scoring 8 or 9 on most dives, it may be a sign of their extreme skill, or it may be a sign that their dive list is not competitive, and they may lose the meet to a diver with higher DDs and lower scores.
