Cliff Diving (Red Bull)
Verdict
Each judge scores 0-10 in half-point increments (typical range 5-9 at elite level); Drop high + low scores; sum middle 3; Multiply by dive's degree-of-difficulty (DD typically 3.0-6.0)
Why people argue about this
People often assume that the scoring system is purely subjective based on judges' personal preferences for each dive, forgetting that it's calculated by multiplying each half-point score by a difficulty factor assigned beforehand. Thus, they overlook how the official rule actually breaks down scores into an objective calculation process.
