Hi All,

I had not moved the Majors tournament to the 19th…. I still have it as the 17th… I can move it if everyone feels it’s better but we were still working with Saturday the 17th.

Well that makes me feel better – So just to confirm, your moving 8/9/10 baseball state tournament to a July 24thstart?

Bob / JP – Are you really starting 9/10/11 and Majors baseball on Monday, July 19th?

I thought I sent an email moving it to the 24th and that Bob had done the same with the 9-11. I saw that isn’t what Mike Had, but I was waiting to see if others thought it was different or if I had it wrong.

Thanks Glen!

I assume that you decided to keep the 8/9/10 baseball tournament on the 10th?

Yes. I have been in several conversations with the state recreation director. So far, we have been mainly working on the mask angle for outdoor sports for phase two if we are still in phase two when games start. I think we will have some relief on that by the time the games start. I haven’t worried too much about tournaments other than to let him know it is a concern. I haven’t seen a reason to negotiate anything there when we have a governor who changes the metrics, the goals and the rules every other week. Several regions met the original guidelines for reaching phase three two weeks ago, but our governor decided to just “freeze us” at phase two for a while. I hope he is working on phase three rules before he unfreezes us. I have confidence that our views and needs will be reflected in the next phase guidelines. 

I think when the time comes, we will be able to play tournaments unless there is a big reversal in where we are with cases.

Yes – I think Glen had that action, didn’t he? I remember him telling us to hold off talking to anybody associated with the state government so that he could work with his connection.

Glenn – Am I remembering that right?

Scott,

I agree that the regulation words don’t seem to match the actual intent or goal. That being said, it seems like we should try to find a way to get a dialog going to reword the regulation. If we don’t get it revised I think we are stuck with no post-season play if the state doesn’t move beyond our current Phase 2. (We still don’t have any idea what a Phase 3 might be).

Regards,

Pat

Hello everyone,

In my opinion, our state government made a mistake when they used the word “Tournament”.

For example, my District has a 7 field facility, maintained by four different leagues. In a month, the four different leagues will be playing games on those seven fields all day long. There is no tournament, just regular season games. To the best of my knowledge this is fine just as long as we make sure not to exceed the maximum number of spectators on any given field and follow proper mask and social distancing guidelines.

Now if our All Star tournaments were to be held at that same facility, we’d have two games going on, while most likely the other 5 fields sat empty. But yet per state guidelines we couldn’t play because it is a “Tournament”.

I know the state’s intent was to eliminate large gatherings of people, and their thought was that they could do so by eliminating “Tournaments”. This is what happens when you have people who “Aren’t in the know” making policy. But it’s life, it happens.

Personally, I do not know a lot about the state cup, but if it’s one game on one field, and rules are put in place to limit the number of attendees and follow proper mask and social distancing guidelines, I’m fine with it. These kids have suffered enough and it’s time to get them back out onto the field playing ball, whether it be soccer, softball, baseball, lacrosse, etc.

Thanks,

Pat, 

To me, they can say what they want. If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it is a duck. No matter what they say about its structure, it is still a tournament.

FYI

The Washington Youth Soccer organization is in full swing with their end of year “tournaments”. They have teams from all over the state participating. I sent them an email to find out how they are able to do so. Below is the response I received.

The basic gist of this is that their regular program is comprised of teams from all over the state who play each other during the season. So their “tournament” is being viewed as year end league games rather than a tournament.

This begs the question for us. Is there a way to structure our “year end” program to a point that we could also comply? We already have inter-league play within the district and often between districts. This seems like we’d need some direct discussions with the State of Washington folks.

Regards,

Pat

Pat,

State cup is not a tournament. Group games and quarterfinal are set like any league games.

Semi and final will be set like you are playing a league game at Starfire where teams come to play their game and leave after the game. 

Best,

Bastien

Bastien,

I’m getting lots of questions about the State Cups regarding the Phase 2 protocols which mandate that tournaments are not allowed. How are the State Cups not considered tournaments or does WYSA have an exemption with the State of Washington to hold these?

Thanks,

Pat
