Event 8 - Pole Vault - Card Preview

The Pole Vault works like the high jump, in that that you will decide a starting height and increase your jump heights from there (no going backwards). Once you've missed 3 times in a row you are out. There is no rule that states you must clear a heigt to move up...and the base number of jumps allowed before fatigue sets in is 7 (but characters created with low endurance my begin to see an impact before the event ends, or will see an impact in the javelin if they don't conserve energy).

Another important note...this event will be much more difficult to explain the card columns. The spread of potential results in this event is significant with potentially 5' differences from best to worst outcomes, and all numbers in between...therefore determining most likely results will be a best guess scenario...

Babson
Best height is 17' and there are two, but they are in nice spots - 36 and 32. Low is 14' 4" and there are 4 of them, but 2 of the 4 are in the teens and the other two are on 28 and 29. Most of the 30s is filled with results of 15'8" or better, and the mid 20s is the same way. Most likely result 16'

Ginsberg
High is a 16' 4"...and I count 5, on 11, 16, 26, 29, 39. Low end is 14' but only 2 and one is the roll of 19...Most common results appear to be between 15' and 15'8...but there are a few 16' results sprinkled in...

Nielsen
One of the favorites in this event, Nielsen has a top end result of 17' 8" on 25 and 22, with a 17' 4" result on 14. There are also quite a few 17' includes really nice ones on 33, 34, 37, and 24...The low is 14' 4" on the 12. After that I see 2 14' 8" on low probability outcomes..then results jump in the 15' 4" or better area. Most likely roll will be 16' 8" or 17'.

McCloud
Best result is 16' 4" on 22, 26, 16. Low is a 13' 8" result on 38 and 28. Most of the results are around 15' with enough 15'4" and 15'8" results to make me think he'll end up around 15' 4"

Llyw
Bad news and good news here....the good news is the high end is 17', the bad news is there is only 1 of them, the pretty good news is it is sitting on a roll of 36, so pretty high probability...low end is a 14' 4", but again just 1 on the 28. Most of the column is around a 15' 8" and the high probability rolls in the 30s are mostly over 16'...so should end up somewhere between 16' and 16' 4"

Rambis
The best result on the card is 16', but only 1...on the 24. Teh low end is 13'...in all I count 7 results that are sub-14'...most of the high probability results are in the upper 14s to lower 15s so a 15' to 15' 8" result isn't out of the question...most likely result is 15'

Justice
With Nielsen, the other event favorite has a top end result of 17' 8"...and he has 4 on 13, 22, 25, and 33...the ones on 25 and 33 are very promising. I count 4 other results of 17' or better. Low end is 14' 8" on a roll of 20. Most of the results are 15' 8" or better but the 15' 4" result on 36 is a concern. Most likely result 16' 8" but could get over 17'

Bafou
16' is the best and only 1 is possible on a 32. low is 13', but it is on the 11...I count 6 more results under 14'...the 30s is mostly 15' or better, but there is the poor 14'4" on 38 that is disturbing. Most likely result 15' or 15' 4"

McGillicuddy
16' 4" is the best...5 of them...14, 22, 26, 29, 39...Several others of 16'. Low end is 13' 8" but I only see 1 on the 17...Most likely result will be around 15'

Ashkayev
Best result is 16' and there are a couple - 32 and 24. Low is 13' 4" and there are 2 rolls in the mid teens with that result. There are afew other results that are sub 14'. Most of the results appear to be around 14' 8" or 15'

Gunderson
16' 4" results are the best...but there are 6 of them...11, 16, 22, 26, 27, 29...Lows are 13' 8" but I only see 1 on the 20. Most results are above 15' and the most likely result is proabably 15' 4"

Gonzalez
also a best of 16' 4"...5 of them...14, 16, 18, 27, 39...(not in great spots)...worst is 13' 8" on 11 and 20...got a could of 14' 8" results on 36 and 38 that I don't like, and there are some other poor rsults in the low 20s and teens. The most common outcome is probably 14' 8" or better and I'd suspect the most likely oucome is 15'
