3m diving scoring doesn't make much sense to me.

7 Judges, and you keep 3 scores. OK I get that. Then do they multiply by the difficulty rating (3.x)?

You have a choice between a difficulty rating of 1 through 4. The basis is the same for all dives, and your score only changes if you mess up something in the routine. What difficulty would you perform if your goal was a medal?

My question was purely math related. It had nothing to do with the dives, competition, etc.

Was trying to figure out where the final scores came from (ex. 81.40)

women's beach volleyball, Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor defeat China 22-20, 22-20 to advance to the championship game.


Lolo Jones and the other two US women hurdlers make the finals.

And she got a bronze on the beam after she won a tie breaker.

But only after an appeal was filed. Seems they added her level of difficulty up incorrectly and she deserved a little higher total which lifted her into the tie and then she was awarded the tie breaker.

I'm not a soccer guy but I'm pretty sure a cleat to the head isn't legal.

It's not. Should be an automatic red card, meaning Canada should have been playing with 10 players...but, yeah the Canucks were screwed by the officials.

I was actually referring to the Brazil-South Korea game, SK player went to head a ball and BRZ defender caught him on the side of the coconut.

However, just saw the video from the US-Canucklehead game, that was ugly.

Looks like a Western Hemisphere men's final. Now 3 - 0 Brazil. Greayeagle, is Neymar flopping, or playing it reasonably straight?

You're asking the wrong person, not sure who that is. :) I am a soccer neophyte at best.

And I found the Rockford Files on MeTV so I've only been watching during commercial breaks.

If you watch for any length of time he'll stick out. He's the most skilled player on the field. It's a obvious as a cleat to head.:)
