Happily, it appears that the Capital Cup tournament is going forward this weekend, closing out the fall season for many of our area boys teams.

Happy to see strict spectator rules (no spectators). The girls tournament last weekend was out of control. People everywhere on top of each other. All mask wearing but it just seemed crazy!

I don’t know how they expect this to work, people driving 90 minutes each way to sit in their cars for 8 hours straight? Unlikely.

That blows. No spectators. I know it makes sense and it’s so the kids can play but still sucks. Refs will be happy no one yelling at them. Lol

That's exactly how it is expected to work. Watch from your car. My kid is playing in this event, I am just happy he's playing.

Most fields cannot be seen from the car.

Why Stafford and f@cking Fredericksburg? Everyone playing in it is an hour or more away.

I agree but those are the rules. You think you (or me) get special treatment and are above the rules? That’s the deal so we have to deal with it.

Because Fairfax isn't allowing tournaments.

There will be no way to enforce the no spectator rule unless the organizers have hired additional staff to enforce. Absent of that, there will be spectators especially since parents had to drive from all over

I think the prudent thing to do would be to cancel at this point.

They should limit it to one spectator per family with mandatory mask.

Then at least the driver can watch.

Hunt Valley is also this weekend. No spectator limit.

Gov of VA will be speaking today at 2pm. We will know after his conference whether or not this tournament is going to take place.

These performative rules are an unnecessary pain in the neck. Bars and restaurants are still open but these tournaments are going to prevent a single parent spectator outdoors which presents basically zero COVID risk.
