EVALUATION :
Participants of the NAK BOP competition will be evaluated on :
height and length during the obstacle nak bop
Jump distance measurement
The contestant runs down a runway and needs to start the leap before stepping past the foul
line. The first body part to touch the ground determines the measurement point up to which
the jump distance is measured, starting from the foul line. While performing the leap, the
contestant also needs to perform a dive roll (i.e., an initial diving motion resulting in a forward
roll executed on the ground).
Jump height measurement
A horizontal bar is placed at a height initially stated by the contestant. The contestant then
jumps over the bar, performing a dive roll (i.e., an initial diving motion resulting in a forward roll
executed on the ground). Only jumps during which the bar does not fall down are considered
successful.
In each of the two disciplines, the contestant has three attempts. The best result in both
disciplines namely, the highest jump height and the longest jump distance are added up and
considered in the ranking.
