Rules for Meet Continuation

Unread postby ClintonMagus » Sat May 12, 2012 5:49 pm

The state high school meet was posponed after the vaulters had jumped five heights and two competitors had been eliminated. When the meet resumes on Monday, do we come back in at the last height as if the meet never stopped, or do we start over?

Based upon the little information you provided, the event would pick up exactly where it left off. The remaining vaulters would have another general warmup and the bar would go up where it left off on the score sheet.

This is also how we have handled the problem in Washington state.
