High Jump

Athlete must jump off one foot.

 
Missed Attempts
1.  The crossbar is knocked off
2.  The athlete touches the pit or the ground
beyond the plane of the crossbar without
clearing the bar.
3.  The athlete knocks the crossbar off exiting the
pit or the uprights of the bar.
4.  The jump is not completed within 60 seconds
after being called.
Points to remember
1.  Official should stand at one end of the crossbar.
2.  Three consecutive misses at any height
eliminates a competitor.
3.  Passes do not count as error.  Passes at 3
consecutive heights would allow a jumper one
practice jump without a crossbar. The athlete
must enter competition at that time.
4.  The bar is never to be lowered except during a
jump off to break a 1st place tie.
 High Jumping Myths

1.  FALSE: If the athlete makes it out of the pit

before the bar falls it is a legal clearance.
TRUE: It doesn't matter where the athlete is if
the bar falls.  It's still a miss.
2.  FALSE: Jumper can't exit under the bar. 
TRUE: It doesn't matter where the athlete
exits.
 Breaking ties
1. Consider the athlete with lesser error/failed
attempts
2. If it still a tie, consider the athlete with lesser
attempts
