First, we do have an auto-fill certicate that can make it easier for our Certifiers. It does things quickly like filling in the following: drop, separation, measurers names, race contacts ect. If one needs this, please contact me.
As for trying to use PDF's, Bob Baumel explained a long time ago this is not the way to go. Now, to get USATF to change their system-GOOD LUCK as they need an IT person. At this point in time they haven't filled that position.
I don't want to be negative, but I just don't see it happening anytime soon.
We have come a long way with getting our information online quickly. Since I have been the registrar the time frame has gone from a month to less than a day. We now can provide color maps online.
The one thing that frustrates me is most of Certifiers don't check to see if all is posted correctly online. I have asked for this to be done, but it only happens with a few people.
