...the Validations Chairman postvalidates a large percentage of courses on factors other than remeasurement.....
I find this statement troubling. There is no mention on the USATF website relating to pre and post validation guidelines ( http://www.usatf.org/events/courses/certification/validations.asp ) that something other than a re-measurement is acceptable as validation. I thought that all validations had to be done by re-measurment. If there are other acceptable methods of validation what are they and why are they not made public or at least alluded to on the USATF website?
