Wait, what's happening now in HJ?  I thought they counted backward to first miss for the tie breaker?  McEwen missed at 2.34 and Kerr didn't.

Tie breaking

[edit]

If two or more jumpers tie for any place, the tie-breakers are: 1) the fewest misses at the height at which the tie occurred; and 2) the fewest misses throughout the competition. If the event remains tied for first place (or a limited-advancement position to a subsequent meet), the jumpers have a jump-off, beginning at the next height above their highest success. Jumpers have one attempt at each height. If only one succeeds, he or she wins; if more than one does, these try with the bar raised; if none does, all try with the bar lowered. This process was followed at the 2015 World Championship men's event.

Both made 2.36 on the first try and both had two previous misses so they're in a jump off.
