One of the bigger issues I see is what is our liability as a measurer!
Few may want to admit it, but in most cases we are independent contractors and therefore could be sued for errors.
This may have been discussed before (can't remember) but there might be a way around this.
An official working a track meet who makes a wrong call has never been sued. Why not??? An athlete who got screwed out of a place on an Olympic team or a cash prize should have every right. Yes, there is a Jury, but they get it wrong as well.
I need to check but it seems that any official working a Sanctioned event is covered. So the bottom line is that a measurer should become a Certified Official! We already have the mechanism in place.
