== Competition rules ==

* Men perform 4 dives from a height ranging from 85–92&nbsp;ft (26–28m). What about the women? There are a total of nine groups (front, back, reverse, inward, front twists, back twists, reverse twists, inward twists and all armstand dives).

* The two required dives must be performed from different take-off positions. There are 5 take-off positions (front, back, reverse, inward and armstand). The [[degree of difficulty]] for each required dive is 3.6. To clarify: front double half twist and front double 1½ twist are different groups, but the same take-off position. If a dive has less degree of difficulty, it will still be 3.6.

* The two optional dives must be from different groups from the nine groups mentioned above. In addition, the optional dives must be done in alternating order every competition.

Line 970 ⟶ 1,048:

== Scoring ==

* Five judges score each dive based on a scale of 0 to 10<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Ham |first=Katie |date=September 8, 2023-09-08 |title=What is Red Bull Cliff Diving - and why the heck am I in Bosnia because of it? |url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/300966502/what-is-red-bull-cliff-diving--and-why-the-heck-am-i-in-bosnia-because-of-it |access-date=2024-01-January 30, 2024 |website=www.stuff.co.nz}}</ref> in half-point increments.

* Each judge scores the dives without assistance.

* The highest and the lowest judges’ scores will be discarded. The remaining three scores are added and multiplied by the degree of difficulty for that dive.<ref name=":0" />
