Dimensions of Pit and Rules and Regulations of Pole Vault
Pole vault is a track and field event in which each competitor uses a long, flexible pole, made of either fiberglass or carbon fiber, with the purpose of vaulting over a bar that is set at a specific height .
Pole Vaulting Area
Dimensions of Pole Vault Pit Pole Vault Pit Minimum size :19'8"W(back), 16'5"W(front)x 20'2"L x 26"H. Front units must extend 45" forward from base units and a common top pad shall cover entire pit . A minimum of 16'5" of padding is required behind the plant box. Vertical cutout around box can't be more than 3" away from top of the plant box.
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 .
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 .
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
Pole Vaulting Rules
Pole Vaulting Rules Each athlete chooses his/her height that they wish to be entered for in competitions
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. 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”.
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.
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
Fouls Are Ruled When : 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
