How much time is allowed after you are called to prepare for a jump when there is more than one vaulter left in the competition?

correct me if i'm wrong...
but i believe its a minute thirty with 3 or more vaulters remaining, then it goes up to 2 or 2:30 when two are left

Time left to vault

Here are the rules for HS
4 or more vaulters = 90 sec.
2 or 3 vaulters = 4 min
1 vaulter in comp. = 6 min.
1 vaulter consecutive vault = is not address

The time begins when the standards are set the bar is in place and the vaulter's name is called.

Once your name is called you can call for your standards to be re-set at a different setting than you first asked for, but that does not stop the clock! Be sure if you want a different standard setting you tell the official before they get the standards set!

Hope this helps.
