They don’t want to do anymore work and they made it clear, along with the fact that they know better than the county level officials who are allowing reopening. Notice how there was no vote on this issue, which is strange because there was a vote on another big decision about 2 weeks ago but the board doesn’t need team input apparently on minor decisions like this

I think MCSL is being ridiculous and tiresome.

If the county guidelines permit based on CDC guidelines then why is MCSL taking more stringent steps. MoCo is cautious enough.

How would we know when we don't have mandatory testing?
Contact tracing, DUH

If you are that concerned why are you participating? The Covid risk is with the unvaccinated kids participating and hanging out together, not vaccinated adults attending meets. I am not understanding how vaccinated adults attending meets being what puts your risk assessment over the top.

These meet rules prohibit spectators and severely limit the number of volunteers, among other restrictions. Based on current vaccination numbers there should be no county specific rules by the first A meet.
- Their rules only “allow” food sales in the parking lot, BUT once an athlete or volunteer/coach enters the pool area they cannot leave (e.g. to buy food/drinks) until the end of the meet. Reentry is prohibited.
Summer swimming is supposed to be fun, but MCSL appears to be determined to prevent any fun from being had. WTF?
I really don’t want to be one of THOSE parents but I’m finding it hard not to…
We need more of THOSE parents.

Definitely agree on the last part, but that kind of behavior is unacceptable regardless of covid yet the mere threat of it doesn’t cause us to prohibit all spectators.

I agree with you and would love ideas on how to push back. It’s ridiculous that we can’t relax restrictions when they are relaxed at the state or county level.
