The 2023 Championship will introduce a Team Event. On Friday morning, teams will be announced, teams will include a mix of age and skill level. Everyone who enters the Pullar Championships will be allocated a team. The Team Event will take place in Session 3 (Saturday Afternoon). Each team member needs to compete a synchronized dive with each other team member, in total each team will compete 6 dives. Each of the 6 dives must be different dives. They will have time throughout the training sessions (particularly Friday evening's session) to practice with their team.
