Title: "Certified" race distance on race reports Post by: Jon Allen on January 21, 2012, 09:30:22 am Sasha,
Is it really necessary to have the feature you added on race reports about if the race is certified or the distance was non-standard? This seems a little too much to me. I just ran a 5k and put the distance as 3.1 miles. When I tried to publish, I kept getting that annoying popup and couldn't proceed. I became rather frustrated before I figured out that I had to put 3.11 mile for it to be "accepted." Really? Specific to the .01? I don't give a donkey's rear about if a race is a non-standard distance. Are you going to force us to put 26.21875 miles for a marathon? I mean, 26.2 must be unacceptable, cause you ignore that last 33 yards! How about just removing this feature. I'm not a fan of it and hope it can just disappear. Or, keep the little check box, but get rid of the warning and the inability to publish reports. Please.

It is annoying and really has no benefit.

Thanks for all you do Sasha! Title: Re: "Certified" race distance on race reports Post by: Paul Petersen on January 23, 2012, 08:47:52 am The functionality to add in races as kilometers would be ideal.
