Reply to "USATF certification of off-road course"

Jay - If I accurately document a course that uses rugged Forest Service roads, I still don't think I should certify it. There is too much slippage of the wheel on the very loose surface, and when bouncing over rocks (uphill or downhill), there is even more inaccuracy.

I would be interested to hear what others think about certifying a course where the surface prevents repeatable measurements. I don't think I would be within the .0008 variance on some of the rugged courses I used to measure. I only did them for an "accurate" measurement, but could not get within the .08%, so I dind't turn them in for certification.

If they can't be measured twice to within .08%, they can't be certified, correct?
