Rules

The competition will be held in accordance to AIDA Rules. Rules. Athletes will compete in the following disciplines:

  • Constant weight
  • Free immersion
  • Unassisted

The competition layout is: 2 competition days, 1 day-off, 2 competition days (4 competition days in total).

Each competitor can compete in one discipline per day (the athlete may choose the same discipline in all competition days). On the morning of the given day, the competitors are expected to state the discipline they want to participate in or that they wish to skip the day.

The winner is the athlete obtaining the most points in a given discipline (there are different rankings for all disciplines, and no ‘general ranking’). In the case of an equal number of points (performance minus penalties), the competitor which takes the higher position is the one who got less penalties.

If this rule doesn’t bring the conclusion, the competitors with equal points shall share the given position, with no competitor taking the next highest position.

Each performance is converted into points according to the following scale:

1 meter in depth = 1.0 point

The performance is rounded down to the nearest point.

Example: 46,7 meters in CWT = 46 points

Max. depth: 90 meters.

There are 20 spots for competitors.
