Interesting but not surprising. Did they mention when they might make a decision or when the next press conference or announcement will he?

No mention of when - but they do weekly press conferences.

Anyone heard any more on possible changes to allow at least scrimmage during practice?

No changes so far. And I am wondering if they will “consider” this week given they are busy with handling another bad PR (MoCo county chose a questionable test vendor which was forced to shutdown by state).

A good way to follow this news is follow MSI’s website. They did the best with refund this spring, but it seems to be life or death issue for them.

They refund all the money this spring. Since some of the leagues do not even do full refund, they have to do it out of their own pocket.

And their majority income comes from running leagues (rec/classic) in MoCo, no games means no business. Unlike travel, it is hard to move Rec league to another county.

And they paid multiple millions to build turf field at MCPS schools last year.

Oh yes i remember because the fall before that was horrible here and it felt like 75% of games were cancelled because msi would mess up the school fields.. even when it wasn't raining.

Soccer has been medium risk in MD for a while. MoCo has classified it as high risk. Still hoping that will change soon.

This thread is for MoCo. And MoCo is still categorizing soccer as high risk. Why are you posting misleading information? You created another thread today where you said soccer in Maryland is NOW considered medium risk when it has been medium risk since June. You’re a making TOCA Juniors Football Club look stupid. Geez.

I agree but that’s a really blatant mistake. Either way, if your job is doing social media for a club, he/she is has to be extra careful. He/she is also representing the club.

First, please check your gender insensitivity. Not all confirm to a binary gender system.

Second, it was an understandable mistake. That is why several corrections prior to yours did so without name calling. Unless one is aware of all the background events, including the timing, that have occurred, one could easily mistake the state determination trumping the county determination.
