Never seen this before

one time this happened in the high jump in my sectional track meet my senior year in high school.
the jumper had already won the meet and he was a really good jumper(a 6'6" pr i believe)
he had the bar raised to 6-7
then he had a really good attepmt but he hit the bar a little and it bounced off of the pegs and on to the top of the standards.
the officials, not knowing the rule or what to do credited him with a make and then decided to measure the bar.
the result was that he was not only credited with a make, they gave him a make at 6'9.5" when the correct ruling is a miss at 6'7"
i could not believe that he was given that mark.
