The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series follows the traditional high diving format.
Divers hand in their three planned dives the day before the competition – dives shall consist of one required dive of a maximum degree of difficulty of 3.6 and two optional dives assigned a degree of difficulty computed from the HDA (High Diving Alliance) table.
These dives are judged by five high diving judges. The highest and lowest score are discarded – the remaining three scores are added and multiplied by the degree of difficulty to provide the total score for each dive.
The points of the first two dives will be added together to produce each diver’s score after two rounds. The top six will qualify for the final.
The other six divers that did not reach the final will be ranked seventh to 12th based on their cumulative scores after two rounds. The six divers in the final will be ranked according to their cumulative scores after three rounds.
Points per competition are allocated as follows:
1. 20pts
2. 16pts
3. 13pts
4. 11pts
5. 9pts
6. 7pts
7. 6pts
8. 5pts
9. 4pts
10. 3pts
11. 2pts
12. 1pts
