BIG DIVE 2024
MORE INFORMATION COMING SOON!
TOTAL TEAM
$5,000
Each club may identify up to two divers per gender, per age group (Open, A, B, C, and D) who are competing in at least one JO or Open event to be members of their Total Team. Please note that for a diver to be designated as “Open” for their club’s Total Team they must be participating in an Open event. The identified divers will be tracked through each day of competition, and any team points they score for their club through event placements will constitute their contribution to the Total Team point tally. For example, a diver placing first on 1m (15 points), third on 3m (11 points), and eighth on platform (6 points) will contribute a total of 32 points to their club’s Total Team points.
At the conclusion of each day the leader will be identified and awarded a leader jacket.
Following the completion of all events, there will be a Final Round with a final opportunity to add to your Total Team tally. In the Final Round one boy and one girl from each age group (A, B, C, D, and Open) will each perform a single dive and will receive 25% of that dive’s total award added to their Team Total (For example a 105b scoring 48.60 points would result in 12.15 points being added to their club’s Total Team point tally). Within each gender, a club’s Final Round dives must perform at least one dive on 1m, 3m, and Tower, and may not repeat directions. The club with the highest Total after the completion of the Final Round will receive a $5000 prize.

MOST VALUABLE
$1,000* Award and Banner for the coach of the team with the highest points per diver average in the FINA events.
Team points shall be awarded to the top 12 places in each event as follows: 15-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-4-3-2-1. In the event of a tie, the points allocated to the tied place shall be added to those allocated to the next place or places, the sum divided by the number of divers who have tied, and that amount added to the score for each team.
Synchro Events will score just as individual ones. In cases of split teams, for the BEST award, each team shall receive half of the placement points. In the “Most Valuable” calculation, each diver will receive full points from their synchro team placement. Divers may participate in a maximum of two synchro teams.
To be eligible for the MOST VALUABLE Award, a coach must have a minimum of five divers with at least 10 event registrations.
In the event of a tie, the award will be split between the two coaches.
*Awards will be presented in the form of a pre-paid account at Springboards and More.
