Certifying odd distances

jaywightCertifier

Received an application today from an experienced measurer who measured a course for a school group.

The distance of the course is almost 5200 meters, but the name of the course as submitted by the measurer includes "5K".

In the past, I would not have had qualms about certifying this distance as 5 kilometers as it is at least that distance.

However with the ongoing GPS contoversy that is not going to go away, I'm now having second thoughts about this. I'm thinking that our mission as course measurers has gone beyond "avoid short courses" and is now "insure the course is the distance they say it is".

Anybody else have thoughts on this?
