  • THE STAGEDIVE SCORE CHART*
  • **

This chart will help you accurately judge any stagedive at a show. Descriptions of the following dives appear after the chart. Remember that most divers MAYBE get 30 points in a whole show….

                   HEIGHT ABOVE CROWD (ft)
     +=====+=======+======+=======+=======+========+===========+

The dives:

Feet - Feet-first. Lamest, also hurts a lot of people if you're wearing

      combat boots (uncool). Most first-timers are feet-firsters.

Cat - Jumping forward, arms and legs spread, facing the crowd, like a

      cat does when tossed in the air. The vast majority of divers fit
      this category.

Swan - A real swan dive, with feet together and arms spread behind. Usually

      takes a lot of height to perform well.

Back - like a swan but back-first. Aim is critical; miss the crowd and you're

      in serious pain.

Bomb - Just like the "water-bomb" dive in a swimming pool, the idea to

      clear away as big a hole as possible. Effective in eliminating
      jerks. Timing critical - if you're seen by the crowd, it's over;
      The only one to get corked will be you.

F. Flip - Forward flip. Usually done from higher stages with tight security;

        the trick is to get your feet away from the bouncers as soon as 
        possible, hence the need for the forward flip.

B. Flip - Back Flip. Rarer than the F. Flip, usually done in haste due to

        radically changing crowd positions. Also requires greater
        gymnastic skills. 

Heli - So named because of it's helicopter-blade-like twist, this dive

      gains the most points for sheer level of difficulty. The idea is to
      get your body whirling like a helicopter blade. Warning-highly 
      dangerous, but looks incredible. Best done from very high altitiudes.

Bonus Points:


Add 2 points per dive for wild screams / arm-leg gestures.

A cat dive resulting in a handstand on the crowd adds 5 points.

Dual-diving with a partner gains 5 points each.

Negotiating your way to the top of a monitor speaker stack and diving from there - add 5 points.

Diving on a bouncer (takes guts) - add 10 points.

Somehow getting to the light rack above the stage and diving from there gains you 15 additional points.

Penalties -


Landing on another diver, subtract 2 points.

Misdirected dive into "curious onlooker" portions of the crowd - minus 5 points.

Diving on a performer onstage - uncool! Minus 10 points.
