Official in charge

• Record name of each Competitor, Club, Gender and YoB in the order that they will compete.
• Record on results sheet #10 top ten or records for that age group(s) and gender. If a jump exceeds #10, remeasure. If record broken, call for field referee to confirm.
• Before competition starts, review with competitors the rules (valid jump, number of jumps, etc.)

Starting heights

· As specified by the host club at the competition site or in the meet literature.

· If not given then left to the discretion of the head official.

· For the Junior Development categories (particularly the youngest ones) it is best to be flexible.

2) Bar must stay on stand after athlete has passed over.

Scoring

Competitor	YoB	105cm	110cm	115cm	120cm	125cm	128cm	Best	Place
Abe Cannon	M94	O	O	XO	XO	XXX	--	120	2
Jon Reno	M94	P	O	O	XO	XO	XXX	125	1
Xavier Gor	M94	XO	O	XXO	XXO	XXX	--	120	3

Ties Look at the number of attempts where tie was made (last successful height). Lowest number misses wins (e.g. Abe Cannon at 120). If still tied count number of misses back to START of competition. Lowest number wins. Passes are not misses. If still tied they finish as tied except for 1^st place.

1^st place tie breaker Competitors have one more jump at the height they failed on. If all miss, the bar is lowered 2 cm and 1 attempt is given each competitor. If two or more make it the bar goes up 2cm and all misses drop out. If all miss, then bar goes down 2cm and procedure is repeated until only one is left.

Athletes leaving to go to other event

· Must get permission from official in charge before leaving and may be allowed to jump out of order (i.e. early).

· Competition may proceed without them.

· Must report when they return and may re-enter competition but at the CURRENT height, although not necessarily required to jump in the original order.

· (Athletes should try to minimize their absence by leaving only when other event is called and returning immediately after completing).
