dont know about the second question, but as for attempts heres how it goes. ill just throw out some fake names and heights so it will make more sense. if jane and katie both make 11 feet, but jane makes it on her 2nd attempt and katie on her first, then katie wins. or if they both made 11 on the same attempt but at 10' 6" jane made it on her first attepmt but katie on her second, then it that case jane wins, and so on. make sense?

Academic All American
I looked it up in the rule books for the NAIA only. The basic rules are that you have to be a varsity player, be a junior or higher academically, have a 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale) GPA and have attended the school who nominates you for at least one semester. The school nominates you by a certain time (May 27 for T&F) and some Board at the NAIA reviews the candidates and makes the selection. I think schools like to brag about the number of Academic All American they have almost as much as the All Americans that earn that distinction on the field. At my school in T&F, based on those who I know who have recieved the distinction, it appears that earning a berth at Nationals is a requisite to getting nominated for Academic All American but that isn't an official requirement in the rule book.

Tie breakers
Not sure Sweetpvjumps had it exactly correct. Here is how I explain the tie breaking situation. The first tie breaker is at the height where the tie occurs who has the fewest failed attempts. As was explained before with jane and katie - jane makes it on her 2nd attempt and katie on her 1st - katie is the winner. But if both make the tying jump on the same attempt, then the total number of failed attempts in the competition are counted up and the person with the lower number of failed attempts wins. If it is still a tie, you only have a jump off for first place. That is the way I understand it. Hope this helps.
