Reply to "Token payment for using another race directors certified course?"

pastmemberMember

Good question, Bob. I would like to know, too.

We publish our courses online and we invite anyone to use them with no requirement for licensing or compensation. I was under the impression that USATF certified courses are in the public domain, by design. Am I wrong about this?

Duane, I like the way you handle such inquiries. It's good form and respectful of your client. But, there is nothing to stop anyone from using "someone else's" course, right? I know that some races have downloaded maps from our database and then graphically re-branded them for their own race.

Is there an official policy on this? If not, is there a consensus?
