Not much to clarify as you have the correct way the event would be conducted.
I know of no place in NY that has ever used this method.
This was in the 2004 USATF rules book as an experimental rule. They actually called it a "fixed number of attempts" rule. Which means the games committee decides how many attempts that would be. Could be 6, could be 7 etc.
Fortunately, USATF removed this rule in 2005. NF never had such a rule. But you know those games committee people, they seem to do basically watever they want. However, I must add that it's not documented under the GC authority rule sections. So it's not clear to me how they decide to run a vertical jumps event this way.
