What does "not yet measured" mean on a course?

The course's line is provisional: no measured GPS trace has verified it yet. Times on it, and their Virtual Power Score, are provisional until one does.

A course marked Provisional line, not yet measured, has been approved, but its line was drawn from the organizer's course map, sketch or description, a paddler's GPS track or our own reference drawing, and no measured GPS trace has verified it yet.

Times on a provisional line, and their Virtual Power Score, are labelled provisional until a measured GPS trace verifies the line. A course time is not a race result. See all the Test Courses.
