the action of the competitor while vaulting;
b. A competitor steadies the bar during an attempt;
c. A competitor leaves the ground in an attempt to vault and fails to clear
the crossbar;
d. Without clearing the bar, any part of the competitor’s body or the pole
touches the ground or the landing area beyond the vertical plane of the
inside edge of the top of the box;
e. During a vault, a competitor moves the upper hand higher on the pole
or raises the lower hand above the upper hand;
f. A competitor fails to initiate an attempt within one minute after the bar
and standard have been set and the competitor's name has been called
by the event judge (see Rules 6-1-2, 6-1-3); or
g. A competitor violates the warm-up restrictions (see Rule 6-1-11).
Note: It shall not be counted as a trial or failure if a competitor’s pole breaks during
an attempt to clear the bar.
