How is the winner decided in long jump?
In track, points are scored according to how well the competitor placed in their event. If the runner got 1st place in their event, then they scored their team 10 points. If they got second place, they scored 8 points for the team, if they got 3rd place in their event, they scored 6 points, and so on. If there was a tie for first place, then you would take the scores for 1st and 2nd place and add them together(10 points plus 8 points) which is 18 points. Then you would divide the points in half which would be 9 points and that is how many points each competitor scores for their team. I probably didn't do a very good job explaining that, but hopefully it helps.
