The event was run using two Dive Recorder/JPAD systems, feeding into one single central laptop (server)
Each Recording system had a remote Scoreboard (one on wireless for the scoreboard on the other side of the pool) and a Tickertape.
All the 1m and 3m Preliminary rounds were run as Simultaneous events, with Platform and Finals running as single events.
