breaking the plane of the stop board?

Unread postby coachknight » Thu May 01, 2008 12:01 pm

If i break the plane of the stop board with the pole and do not touch the ground or landing pad beyond, it is not a scratch. Is that correct? help!

As amended for clarification, that is correct.

So the ruling is is that if only one of the two components crosses, then it isn't an attempt? Are you sure? I thought it was that if the vaulter crosses at all then it was considered a jump, but the bend of the pole was allowed to pass the plane of the back of the box and one could still bail out and not scratch. Is this wrong?

You can break the Plane all you want you just can't touch anything on the other side.

around here if anybody has stopped their run but the tip of the pole goes past the back of the box, even without touching anything it is a miss for "breaking the plane" is this correct procedure
