Why are some scores crossed out?

Why are some scores crossed out?

It's the weird scoring system, I've heard it 1000 times, still don't understand it.

They do something and then something else then multiply by difficulty or something.

They have 7 (?) judges and take an average or something like that.

Shame he's not called Minikiev

Top and bottom scores are not taken into account. The total is then multiplied by the difficulty of the dive.

They remove the two lowest and two highest scores, add the rest together and multiply them by the difficulty. I think.

7 judges. Get rid of the top and bottom two to leave three scores. Add those three scores. Multiply that total by the difficulty.

So on a 3.6 dive, say you get 7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 8.0, 8.0, 8.5, 8.5. The middle three are 7.5, 8.0, 8.0. Total of 23.5. Multiply by 3.6 to give a score of 84.6.

Do that six times and that's that.

[NZB]

Love how the people in the arena don't have a clue if it's good or not but scream anyway .

 

[Viper²]

Great dive.

 

[Merlin5]

American splashed loads, lol!

 

[NZB]

He could do a belly flop or just bomb it and they'd still cheer

 

[Merlin5]

So want tom to get gold, and it's still doable.

 

[NZB]

Edit - ok that looked perfect to me till they slowed it down lol.
