CHSAA rules require that this event is counted as one of the four allowable per athlete at a competition.  

Field event competitors must get to their field events and complete their attempts in their designated heat. Field event workers will limit time from the event to approximately 10 minutes (depending on the event).  This is extremely critical in the HJ and PV.  The athlete may be forced to pass to the next height if they do not return in the 10-minute time allotment.  Athletes will not be allowed to compete after the scheduled time if no effort was made to compete during the scheduled time.  (For example, continues to leave for other events and does not attempt to get a jump or throw between their running events.)
