I've seen so many pictures on social media from this past weekend of team pics, coaches huddles, awards ceremonies, etc.... No, people aren't following the guidelines and they're going to ruin it for everyone who is taking it slow!
If you have a problem with it, don’t attend anymore tourneys. But don’t raise questions and ruin it for the ones who aren’t afraid and can see this all was a huge overreaction.
Wasn’t trying to create an argument as I said in my post, just looking for the thoughts of other teams. Thank youIf you have a problem with it, don’t attend anymore tourneys. But don’t raise questions and ruin it for the ones who aren’t afraid and can see this all was a huge overreaction.
We'll find out in 2 or 3 weeks if there start to be cases in the travel softball community. I'm also anxious to see if there will be an uptick in cases in the protest/riot community. By the end of the month we ought to have a good handle on whether or not being outside has any influence on cases/transmission.

I hosted a 92 team tournament last weekend. I put alot of guidelines in place prior to the tournament, from extended dugouts where areas where roped off for teams only.. Some teams used them, most did not.. Plate and Mound conferences were good for most part. Either coach had face coverings on at the defensive mound conference with girls gloves up over there face or players were spaced out around the circle as coach stood 6 ft away. I had to remind umpires occasionally about no pregame plate meetings with coaches.
I only had 2 teams where base coaches actually had face coverings on during the game even though not required. The rule that was followed the most was with game balls.. Defensive teams were completely responsible for the game balls and all foul balls went back through the defensive team dugout before going back into play..
Diluted bleach 8% can be good sanitizer. 1 1/2 t / gallon is for disinfecting surfaces. I would say 3/4 t / gallon would do for hands if in a pinch. OrIn Troy this weekend. I know our team has to be there at 6:30 am for temp check during team check in. No bathrooms open. Concessions are open. If pitcher is caught licking fingers two time they are ejected from the tournament. 30 min breaks between game so dugouts can be sanitized. And each player has to carry they’re own hand sanitizer. Hope we can find it lol
