Those advancing to the jump off, will jump off in a “back to back” method.

For example, if you advance to the jump off and have 4 faults in the j/o with a time of 35 seconds you will not receive a ribbon regardless of the others results. If Sally jumps off clear in a time of 36 seconds, Bruno is also clear in 38 seconds, & no other competitor is double clean then only Sally & Bruno will receive ribbons -1st & 2nd with no other ribbons being awarded. They will receive 7 & 5 points respectively towards the high point jumper of the day.
