On putting hyphens in cert numbers: Probably best to wait. Jason Wright said he'd fix this when we met with him the evening before the RRTC meeting, but he probably forgot. I'll need to contact him a few weeks into the new year, so I can start getting set up to use the USATF site's new CMS for managing web pages. At that time, I'll remind him about fixing the search engine. The search engine may need other changes too, e.g., if we want it to remind people that races must be sanctioned for records to be possible.
We'll post it here when the search engine has been fixed to allow entering cert numbers with hyphens.
