Reply to "Do we or should we have standards for how races are administered?"

I was approached by a VFD several weeks ago to certify a course that would effectively cut off an access road to two churches for a planned Sunday morning event. Thanks to Google Maps, it was easy to see this. When I pointed this out, it took some time for the organizers to grasp that these churches would not have been thrilled to have many of their parishioners inconvenienced or blocked out of the church parking lots. Fortunately, they heeded my advice and scrapped this race concept and are working on a better one now.

One time measuring an inherently faulty course - long ago - was enough for me.
