Not a fan of nonsense either.
Theres a lot of nonsense everyday in the world.
Change and guidelines are inevitable.

Florida/MAY
I know the people around Orlando who run tournaments 100% expect to have tournaments 5/23 & 5/30 and are hoping for 5/16. Unless something dramatic happens and they are told no, I am 80% certain 5/23 happens and almost 100% 5/30 does.
We received notification from a few field sites and facilities in the Orlando area that they are open to team practices as of Monday with a few restrictions (plus a waiver which is probably not worth the paper it is printed on)

I guess it depends on what Phase 2 includes for Florida.
I am willing, ready and able to have DD play this weekend. Just waiting for Comrade Newsom to give his blessing. I live in Orange County CA, home to 3.2 million with 39 deaths due to covid.
If we must have guidelines they should be logical. Like, play at your own risk.
Wow, nice. I live in a county with 1.5 million population, 1227 deaths. I hope your county doesn’t end up like that.
Certain States majority might think play at own risk is logical.
Sounds like you will need to travel out of State for that.
Or not want to
Yes; although people are already interpreting the rules however they want. Letting teams practice as a team starting this week seems like a very loose interpretation of what is in Phase 1 already even with the stipulations they have sent out.
Unless they are told specifically they can't,I expect they will proceed.
Wait because RI is canceling tournaments all those other states will?
Can you post a link that supports that the other states will follow the lead of Rhode island?
That seems to be the main problem; it is not "play at your own risk" it is "play at someone else's risk". If I was just taking the risk for myself, fine, that is a decision I can make for me. But if it turned out I was asymptomatic or just was mildly ill but someone else got seriously ill because of me or even just possibly because of me, I am not sure how I would live with that.
As a tournament director, you have to trust a whole tournament worth of families to not bring along someone who is sick or mildly ill or to follow all the procedures. If you put on a tournament and it ends up being the center of a source of infection; are you going to be OK with that (not even thinking about the legal implications)? Tough call - or at least it should be a tough call.
They opened the passive parks in Florida last Wednesday evening; and while 90% of the people out there behaved themselves within the limits they were asked to, 10% didn't. That is about what I expected.
