I. COMPETITION RULES
General
79. (a) Competitors shall take their trials in the order in which
their names are printed on the programme, unless the judges decide
to alter that order. A competitor cannot hold over any of his trials
to a subsequent round, except in the High Jump and Pole Vault.
(b) If in the opinion of the judges the condition warrants it, they
shall have power to change the place of the competition in any field
event. Such a change shall be made only after a round is completed.
Ties
80. (A) In Scratch Events ties shall be decided as follows
(a) In jumping or vaulting for height :
(I) The competitor with the lowest number of jumps at the
height at which the tie occurs shall be awarded the
higher place.
(z) if the tie still remains, the competitor with the lowest
total of failures throughout the competition up to and
including the height last cleared shall be awarded the
higher place.
(3) If the tie still remains, the competitor with the lowest total
number of jumps (whether successful or not) throughout
the competition up to and including the height last
cleared shall be awarded the higher place.

Jones, Smith, Brown and Black all cleared 6 ft. o ins. and failed at
6 ft. i in.
The rule regarding ties comes into operation, and as Black
cleared 6 ft. o ins. at his second attempt, the others taking three,
he is declared the winner.
The other three still tie and the Judges add up the total number
of failures up to and including the height last cleared, i.e., 6 ft.
Brown has more failures than Jones or Smith, and is therefore
awarded fourth place. Jones and Smith still tie, and the judges
add up the total number of jumps up to and including the height
last cleared, i.e., 6 ft., Jones being awarded second place.
(4) If the tie still remains—
(i) If it concerns the first place, the competitors tying
shall have one more jump at the height at which
they failed, and if no decision is reached the bar
shall be lowered or raised half-an-inch at a time in
the High Jump and three inches at a time in the
Pole Vault with one jump at each height until the
tie is decided.
