Announcer
Announces each diver, the dive, and the degree of difficulty, and calls the scores shown by the judges. Sets the atmosphere and controls the tempo of the meet.

Meet Secretary
Inspects all diving sheets for correctness prior to the meet and prepares a list of the competitors. Reviews the scores and the points awarded for each diver to determine the winner/place order for each event as well as the points awarded to his or her team. Records the meet results and prepares the ribbons for all meet participants. Typically the Dive Rep serves as the meet secretary.

Table Workers (2 Scorekeepers and 2 Calculators)
Scorekeepers write down the judges' scores as announced. They eliminate the lowest and highest score, and total the remaining three scores. Scorekeepers then compare their scores and resolve any discrepancies before passing the dive sheet to the Calculators. The Calculators multiply the total score by the degree of difficulty to determine the total points awarded for the dive and keep a running overall score for the diver.
