How It Works
The Scoring & Penalty Calculator takes the guesswork out of AIDA competition judging. Select a discipline, enter the Announced Performance (AP) and Realised Performance (RP), and the tool instantly calculates the final score with all applicable penalties.
For pool disciplines (STA, DYN, DYNB, DNF), the calculator handles time-based and distance-based scoring, Under AP deductions, early and late start penalties, and technical fouls like turn violations, illegal pulls, and grab infractions.
For depth disciplines (CWT, CWTB, FIM, CNF), it covers tag retrieval, depth shortfalls, no-tag penalties, and all depth-specific DQ conditions — giving you the final score and a clear breakdown of every deduction.
Disqualifications & Surface Protocol
Every DQ code defined in AIDA v17.7 is supported: airway submersion after surfacing (DQAIRWAY), Surface Protocol failure (DQSP), late start beyond the allowed window (DQLATESTART), illegal pulling (DQPULL), and other infractions (DQOTHER). The tool explains each code so judges can verify their calls with confidence.
The Surface Protocol check validates the 15-second window for removing equipment, giving the OK sign, and providing a verbal confirmation — the three steps every athlete must complete to avoid a DQSP.
