The invention relates to judging of the long jump and triple jump events in track and field.
In the long jump and triple jump events in track and field, it is necessary for a judge to determine whether or not each competitor has initiated his jump prior to crossing a "foul" line (also known as a scratch line). If any portion of a competitor's foot extends beyond the foul line or makes a mark after the foul line when jumping, then the jump is not measured.
It has been very difficult for track and field judges to accurately determine whether the leading portion of an athlete's foot has crossed the foul line. This difficulty arises from the high rate of speed with which athletes approach the foul line for theirVictoria University student Bethany Paterson organised for Weir House and Te Puni Village to have a power-saving face off.

Two of Victoria University's halls of residence saved enough power over the past two and a half months to power a house for two and a half years.

Weir House and Te Puni Village competed between July 19 and October 9 to see which residence could save the most power compared to the previous year's usage.

Weir House was declared the victor on Monday, October 19, with a 5.4 per cent decrease.

Te Puni Village had a 3.7 per cent decrease, and both residences saved a combined cost of more than $2000.

Second-year law, ecology and biodiversity student Bethany Paterson organised the competition.
