a bar that is set at a

7. Pole Vault Pit Rules
Like the high jump, the bar is
raised as competition
progresses. The standards, or
uprights, used to measure the
bar’s height are always set to
at least 5.20m apart.
 The landing pit must be
at least 6.00m long, 6.00m
wide (5.00m and 5.00m for
non-international
competition), and 0.80m high.

8.  The pole vault runway must
be at least 40m long
 The box at the end of the
runway (where the pole is
planted) is 3ft, 3in long, 8in at the
deepest, and narrows to 6in wide
at the bottom the deepest, and
narrows to 6in wide at the bottom.

9.  Uprights can be adjusted,
according to athlete preference,
up to 0.80m behind the box
 Poles may be any length or
diameter and possess any degree
of flexibility, but must always be
round in profile

Rules

11. Pole Vaulting
Rules
1.Each athlete
chooses his/her
height that they
wish to be
entered for in
competitions

12. 2.Each competitor has three tries to clear
the height; if cleared, the jumper
advances to the next height and will
again, have three more attempts.
3.If a competitor fails to clear all three
attempts, they are out and their highest
height is recorded; if a competitor fails to
clear any bar throughout the entire
competition, they will receive a “NH” which
stands for “no height”.

13. 4. Competitors also have the option of
passing a height. For instance, if a vaulter
misses their first jump, they have the
option of passing on to the next height, but
with only two attempts instead of three.
Correspondingly, if a vaulter misses two
jumps in a row, they can also pass to the
next height but with only one attempt left.
Once a competitor reaches their third
miss, they are out.

14. 5. A jump-off takes place in the event
of a tie and it is considered sudden
death starting at the last attempted
height. If both vaulters miss, the bar is
lowered and if the jump is made, it is
raised a little bit. Each competitor gets
one attempt

15. Fouls Are Ruled When:
1.The pole dislodges the bar,
even if the vaulter cleared the
bar
2.The competitors fail to
complete a jump within the time
that is allotted, counting as a
missed attempt
