This happened at my regional indoor meet this year... I was jumping for a qualifying spot, then was going for a PR (more than 3 heights in between). I thought that it was allowable for me to take a warm up jump (it had been allowed at every other meet that I can remember), but the head official pulled out the rule book, read ART. 15, and said no. That threw me off pretty badly... Didn't PR. :no:

Got the rule book thrown at you, eh? :D

(Not too funny. :no: Wish you got the PR instead. :yes: )
