Hi Mark. Thanks for the reply! Sorry if my words were not clear. Let's try this: If local runner Henry Sypniewski sets an age group world record at race #1 and subsequently Gene measures the course for validation prior to record ratification and finds it 7 meters short, then the course is invalidated and effectively de-certified at that time. How would Gene know to decertify the "other" course used by race #2?
I think we agree. What you missed is that we don't yet have 2 names for one course. Instead we are officially pretending that we have two courses! I'd like there to be a way to have two names pointing to the same course. That's what I was asking -- do we have this or can we? I think we should.
