[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then why does BCC baseball which has all its games in Macgomery County allow two  spectators per child and MSI zero?[/quote]

Don’t be dense. It’s a MoCo rule. Baseball is not a contact sport.  Look up the MoCo website and stop blaming MSI. You can learn a lot by visiting the MoCo website. [/quote]

You could learn a lot as well by actually reading the rules, which has raised the outdoor gathering limit to 50, and has more spectator exceptions beyond that in various circumstances. The contact of the sport has absolutely NOTHING to do with spectators. Geez ... for goodness sakes. You think whether parents are on the side watching baseball, soccer, football, baton twirling, or whatever else makes a difference on SPECTATOR policies.

I really am amazed by some comments here. "Don't be dense" -- the contact of the sport has nothing to do with spectating. Never has, even in this very COVID restrictive county, and never will be. Not a single time in all the executive orders was gathering limits or spectator policies tied to a sport classification. Never. It was about whether games or contact practices could be held at all.[/quote]

I have a baseball player, and a rec soccer player.  My baseball player has never played or practiced on a field that didn't have a place for parents to watch that was six feet with some kind of separation from the player.  With my soccer player, there have been plenty of times when he played on a field where the parents watched literally from the sideline, because there was another game a few feet away.

I can't think of a field where my baseball player has practiced or played where it wouldn't be easy to meet both the spectator guidelines and the 50 person limit.  On the other hand, most of the soccer places would struggle, because they have multiple games on the same larger field, so those numbers are added, and the places for spectators aren't as distanced.[/quote]

I have been to hundreds of MSI games at countless schools, parks, etc. I seriously don't get what you are saying. There's plenty of room. Historically, practice was to have parents lined up at the sideline, but there's lots of space to adjust and spread. The little 4 v. 4 games where they have a million going on at once would be the most problematic, unless they could space them out more to cut down capacity.[/quote]

You've played rec soccer, before the pandemic, on fields where there was a physical boundary around the field, 6 feet from the edge of where the players would be if they chased a ball out of bounds?  That's what Montgomery County is requiring.  Baseball that's easy, but given that the same soccer fields are used for little kids with one field size, and then a few hours later there are adults playing needing a totally different field size, I've never seen physical boundaries set up like that.

Baseball already has that, because you have a cage behind the batter, and usually bleachers that are back from the basepath and all ages use the same basic diamond.  [/quote]
