hey, i am going to an invitational tomorrow that i am
pretty pumped up about. i have today (friday) off from
school and track to rest but the meet tomorrow supposedly
had the '6 jump rule' in effect..where after your 6th vault
you are done, regardles. i am an 11' but real close to 11'6''
and i'm consistant. the weather is calling for possible rain...
and i was thinking of coming in at 10'6'' because i plan on
clearing 11'6'' and i would like at least 1 or 2 attempts at 12'
i'm not so sure though if it's raining...does anyone have any
opinion on this? it would help. thanks

6 jump rule? Never heard of that - sounds pretty lame

What competition rules are you jumping under? NF, USATF, NCAA?
I ask because this "fixed number of attempts" format as it was once known, is not in any of these rules.
It used to be a USATF experimental rule through the 2004 rule year, but it has since been removed for 2005. Not an NCAA rule either. I don't know why a games committee can consider this format especially since it never was in any NF rule book.

that's a ridiculous rule!! I would complain! 
But, if that's the case, I would definitely come in at 10'6 regaurdless- Especially if it's gross weather. If you're clean on misses, you'll be good to go! You could realistically 1st attempt 10'6, 11' and 11'6 and then still have 3 at 12'. Good luck!
