Reply to "What does USATF sanctioning really mean?"

A little outside the measuring topic, but here's my $0.02. I understand the USATF Sanction to mean that the USATF has reviewed the race's procedures for things like type event, safety, course, competitive divisions, etc. and agreed that the race meets the minimum guidelines established. Additionally, since these minimum guidelines are met, USATF offers optional liability insurance. Since the insurance is the only tangible result of a USATF sanction, the sanction has become synonymous with insurance. For huge super-races, there may be some physical checking, witnessing or on-site representation, but for the majority of races, I
The interface between race director and USATF is completing and submitting a form and a check (maybe 2) and (again, maybe) receiving a notification of sanction. The notification of sanction is available online as well.

The system seems to be working.
