I believe pre-verification is required only for USATF National Championships, not state championships. Also, I believe it has been a requirement only for the past 5 or 6 years. That's probably why most of the 40 "Verification Passed" courses that Kevin mentions were certified fairly recently.

The pre-verification requirement doesn't mean the USATF is going to send somebody out to your course to verify it before your race. It means that one of the requirements of hosting a national championship is to hire two World Athletics measurers to measure your course. USATF could require state championship courses be pre-verified as well, but I imagine the RDs of many of those races wouldn't be happy about the the considerable extra expense they would be required to take on.
