High Jump/Long Jump

  • Do you have extension cables to reach to the desks

  • Do you have desks

  • Laptops

  • Shade, so that you can see the laptop screens

  • Mouse (people may not know how to use a trackpad)

  • Paper/pens, for backup recording

  • Metric-measuring device (centimeters, not inches)

  • The course should be marked out and set up for competition at least 30 minutes before the start time of competition. This allows time for the volunteers to be trained.

  • Do you have the space required by the rulebook?

  • Do you have the measurement/fault markers necessary by the rulebook?

    • What is the minimum jump distance possible on the equipment?
    • what is the length, thickness of the measurement device (see rulebook)

  • When will tie-breakers occur?

    • We often do tie-breakers for overall jump winners, so that we don't give out multiple medals for a competition.
      • Rules for tie breaking should be in rulebook and/or published decided ahead of time
    • Is this on the schedule?
    • Do competitors know that they should be prepared for tie-breakers?

  • Each line should have FOUR volunteers (2 line judges, 1 coordinator/manager, 1 data recorder)
