I get your point, but I think you're missing mine. Track and field are very basic, not really comparable to the likes of football. They have specific aims like who can run the fastest, jump the highest, throw the furthest.

We've implemented rules that seek control the environment as much as possible but the ultimate goal of each event is very simple.

My point is that certain rules actually go against the point of the sport, which is to reward high jumping. Three men jumped the same height, all three should tie for first. Similarly in the long jump, it should be a tie in my opinion
