How the Piike Index Works

The Piike Index is a 0–100 score for every diver in the database. Unlike a season-best or a single meet result, it's designed to be comparable across meets, across events, and across years.

The five components

  • Execution (40%): how cleanly you're hitting your dives, normalized for meet-level judging tendencies
  • Degree of difficulty (25%): the difficulty of the dives you're competing
  • Consistency (20%): how much your scores swing meet to meet
  • Versatility (10%): breadth across dive groups
  • Context (5%): log-scaled prestige of the meets you've competed in

What it's not

It's not a prediction. A higher PI doesn't guarantee you'll outscore a lower PI on any given day — diving is too variable for that. It's a rolling read on a diver's current level given everything we've seen.

Tiers

The numeric score maps to named tiers (Newcomer, Developing, Prospect, Varsity, All-American, Elite) so a coach scanning a list can see at a glance who's in the conversation for a given level.
