Effective January 1, 2013:
*Note: The listed measurers are independent contractors and are not agents for USATF.
To be listed as a measurer on the USATF/RRTC Websites, measurers must meet defined criteria. This does not mean someone cannot measure his or her own course and have it listed. It only means that, if these standards of performance are not met, a measurer won’t be visible in the list of measurers shown on the USATF/RRTC Websites. This is to ensure that when race directors look to the USATF/RRTC sites for measurers who they may hire to measure a course, the persons listed will meet at least minimal performance standards:
These standards are not difficult to achieve. However, if a measurer chooses to not meet these standards, they will not be placed on the list for the public to see or – if they have been listed – the measurer will be removed from the public listing until they conform to the standards. Many race directors feel that any measurer listed is endorsed by USATF/RRTC. By listing measurers, we are implying that they are capable of delivering the product described on the sites.
Any removal of a measurer will be decided by the Chair of the RRTC based upon the facts presented to him or her from a Certifier. The RRTC Chair will notify the measurer in writing of their removal for the reason(s) supplied by the Certifier. If there is an appeal by the measurer, then the RRTC as a whole will make the final decision. The measurer will be informed that he or she can be re-listed after one year by writing a letter to the Chair of the RRTC asking for re-listing. In this letter, the measurer will assure the RRTC that past problems will not occur.
