EDIT: Got this wrong the first time. If you are HURDLING, you are also CROSSING at the same time. As such, I'm thinking that you would get eight points for the first HURDLE, and six for each HURDLE after being tipped back. That doesn't sound right at all, but that's the best I can read from this. The only way I can make the seemingly proper interpretation happen (where only the first one counts) is if scoring by HURDLING is dependent on scoring by CROSSING.
