    Probability of fall tournaments

    Our club is talking about traveling in December for tournaments. What do the soccer gods think of this possibility??? Currently, the large majority of the country is on the “do not visit” list. Why would anyone bank on traveling ( south) from nj in December???

    Correct. Don’t bank on it. At least it’s drivable and don’t have to buy plane ticket.

      It appears you are alluding to one of the Florida or NC tournaments in December.
      Clubs that would do something like the Disney tournament would always have to discuss and plan well in advance, so now is the right to time to look at costs and options.

      There is no such "do not visit" list. So you can remove that from your equation.
      I have a strong suspicion that many of these lists and the media panic on Coronavirus will change drastically after the election on November 4th.

      No matter who is govenor of NJ or POTUS clubs should plan put travel and have the team discuss vote on what and where to attend.

      Heck by that time even the forum random question may change.

        The fact that you think an election has anything to do with a virus is hysterical. 150,000 Americans are dead since February and that's political.

        You can hope for the soccer tournament (I know I am), but I wouldn't count on it. There is most likely going to be a second wave in the winter (hopefully not), but maybe we'll have an effective treatment or people will have followed mask/social distancing requests and numbers are isolated.

          not surprising that you misunderstood the point and threw up the number of unfortunate victims. "the fact that you" is actually not a fact at all...my point (I'll type slowly for you) is IMO the media coverage will change drastically after November 4th...a completely different point.

          There are and will be plenty of tournaments to clubs to choose.

            What does media coverage or an election have to do with facts about the virus? Either they'll be a lot or a little amount of cases in the winter, either there will be a treatment or there won't be, and either there will be travel restrictions or there won't be. Viewing the situation through the eyes of an election is dishonest IMO.

              150,000 Americans are dead from coronavirus, and 80% of them were 65 and older.

              That’s 120,000 dead 65 and older.
              Only 30,000 between new born and 65.

              There are 330 million people in the US. What should we do to slow the spread of a virus with a much lower infection rate than previously thought?

                There will be no tournaments before the Spring on 2021. The chances of anytime sooner is slimmer to none. I agree once Trump is gone the media will be able to release the truth of his time in office. In 97 days when Trump and his administration are kicked out of office it will take some time to to move our country in the right direction.

                  Dude, your a tool. Stop drinking the tainted koolaid. You one of the ******* parents that think everything going on in the world is some made up conspiracy. You probably believe 9/11 was an inside job, Sandy Hook never happened, and the Titantic never sunk. Go back in the basement and read your comics. I wouldn't be surprised if your kid was one of the kids on the MF Shore team that held full contact team practices when the rest of the country was on shut down. Wouldn't be surprised if your going to Jeff Cup, regardless of the quarantine, coming back and going right back into practices without self quarantining. But then again, why would you? It's a fake disease, only made worse by the media. Does your mother know your snuck up from the basement and got on the computer again? Btw, the world is flat and we never landed on the moon....

                    No tournaments before spring 2021? They have been going on since July, just smaller as teams from infected states aren't allowed.

                      That will come to a halt soon enough, especially as fall HS sports start to close down. In-state may happen but not interstate ones. The November GAL event? No way, especially since people would ideally start making travel plans in the next few weeks. CA is flaming red hot now and brining together people from across the US for a tournament? Not happenning.

                        At least in theory, most states will be past the coronavirus peak by then, so it might be safe. All depends on whether or not there is a "second wave"...and the question then is when will a second wave occur?

                          I don't see large national tournaments happening any time in 2020. In state and possibly regional for the Northeast will happen once 20/21 Season starts next month. The South and West will be the same way. I am not saying that people will not try to have larger, national tournaments, but they won't be anything like there were previously.

                          A good portion of Club dues/fees is with the promise of 3/4+ tournaments a year. They are going to attend some (as long as it is permitted), but results are going to be all over the board. I think with attendance down, the groupings are going to be forced to merge more and many games will be lopsided.

                          That all said, I am just glad we are still playing at all.

                            I would guess you'll see a flood of local/regional clubs (NJ, PA, NY, CT, etc.) going to NJ-based EDP tournaments instead of WAGS, NC showcase, disney, etc. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing as there are a lot of great clubs in the area.

                              Plan, and make alternate plans. And then make alternate plans to that. Plans A, B, C and D...

                              There's too many unknown variables - what numbers are like around here, what numbers are like where you're going, whether or not school/college resuming brings back another surge, or none at all.
