    They can easily change the rules because vertical jumps are not attempt limited. I would say at least one extra jump before a tie can be offered.  Also who gets to make the offer?  Moon definitely put Kennedy on the spot by offering, but why should she take the initiative?  

    There is no "offer" so to speak. If one of them disagrees for a tied medal the jump-off goes ahead regardless what the second person says.

     

    The last time a jump-off went ahead was probably European Indoors in 2015 (Kuchina vs Trost). One year before at World Indoors in Sopot Kuchina & Lićwinko agreed to share the gold. Lićwinko said she asked Kuchina if she wants the jump-off and Kuchina said she's OK with the shared gold.

    Regarding the shared golds, everyone tied for gold can just decide together to stop jumping and then what...? 3, 5, 9, 12 shared gold medals become the norm?

     

    Jump-off or DQ.

     

    This is senior WCh not kindergarten. Athletes should aim to be the best.

    There won't be more than 3 shared medals at any stage in vertical jumping events IMO. In reality only PV and HJ are affected because the number of jumps per height is fixed. Ties in horizontal jumps and throws are separated by the second best attempt. So nobody will change the rules that affects only two events of the entire lot.

    USA announcers don't understand the rules on total misses at lower heights.    They think Moon is in 2nd because she has one miss at a higher height.

     

     

    That's not how it works. Total misses at all heights is the second tie-breaker ;)
