Reply to "Course Pre-Validation"

Kevin,

Yes, it's good that courses are checked for accuracy beforehand. The terminology you are using is not correct any longer. When a measurement is checked we call it a verification. Validation are done after the race was run. They are to prove the course was run as measured and other paperwork is done.

The USATF site will be changed to reflect this new wording. The main reason for these changes was we are following the IAAF rules.

Another thing USATF approved at this past years convention, is all their championship should be pre-verified.
