• A Brief Note for Referees and Judges

  Wed, 7-15-2026 | Jim Sweeder
   
  Only one more meet to go, and then Divisionals.  I have recently been informed of two concerns with officials.  First, is a tendency to not call balks for our younger divers.  As a reminder of our rules, balks should be called on ANY diver, regardless of age or team, and used as a teaching moment for coaches. Second, divers, who do not attempt to come out of a tuck, should be awarded a max of 2 points.  Referees and judges should ensure that their scores reflect the skill the diver displays, not the degree of difficulty.  There is a tendency especially for new judges to award dives like a 104C satisfactory or high deficient scores when the dive was actually, or close to, a cannonball.  Referees should emphasize the importance of finishing the dive prior to entering the water and make the max 2 call as appropriate.

   

  I hope your season is going well, and we wish all of our divers success in this final week of diving and all of our post-season championship events.

   

  And thanks for volunteering as NVSL officials -- we have the best seats on deck.
