So, A is therefore declared First.
For B and D, we now refer to the second formula.
“If the tie still remains the Competitor with the lowest total of failures through out the competition up to and including the height last cleared shall be awarded a Higher place.”
The total failures to both B and D are 5 each.
Therefore, the tie still remains.
We are in a position to see the third formula.
“If the tie still remains, the Competitor with the lowest total number of Jumps (whethet successful or not) including the last height cleared shall be awarded the higher piece.”
B had 10 attempts.
D had 9 only.
So, D is declared second and B third.
C naturally takes fourth place
