TCS Just Changed the Colorado Sparkler go to their website for updated info.

Saw this coming....still wondering if it’s worth the money if the recruiters are not going to be as present. It is nice that it is close to home though. I think PGF Nationals and TCS World Series will be announcing that their events will be regional also very soon..

[sdiamond]

Im guessing several reasons why the change. Friday they had the Zoom meeting with 10 of the top TB teams in the Country. Texas decided to hold their own regional tournament and the Dark period by the NCAA id until June 30th.

I'm sure over the weekend TCS sat down and discussed not losing the Texas money and knowing many College Coaches are limited in their air travel per their administration. Therefore if Colleges can drive to events they will, many are not hurting for players this year with the extension given but many schools are not allowing their seniors to stay.

The way the regions are gives TB the opportunity to drive to these locations. Now its up to the Cities States to allow these games to happen. They are still 60 days away and alot can change hopefully for the better by July 1

Orange County had only 40 Deaths due to COVID19 last week & it looks like they have doubled that in just 1 week as of today they have 78 Deaths, not sure how the big events are going to play out if these numbers continue to rise. Also looks like LA County may extend Stay at home order through July......Not sure if it would be a good idea to invite teams from all over the country to come pick up or spread anything?

I have multiple friends that work at hospitals and they all say the same thing. Either no ChiVi or very few cases. Plus my friends 35 year old son died. They put him down as died from ChiVi n his sister told me it’s not true.

Just remember this is with a lockdown. You guys were fortunate you enacted when you did. Northeast was late in acting and paid the price. We all want to reopen, but it must be done smart. All of the major sports are still talking delays or even cancellations. You don’t think with all of the money and data they have they might know something? Why would you risk bringing hundreds or thousands of people from outside your low impacted area to congregate and potentially spread it more? A small percentage of a very big number is still a big number.

Unfortunately too often when things do often too many people can’t follow simple instructions of social distancing which slows down the Re-Opening process. I work with the public and I remember what I was once told “when you consider the intelligence of the average person and realize by definition half are dumber than that it explains a lot”

According to the CDC....as of 5/9/20

92% of COVID-related Deaths are ages 55+
80% of COVID-related Deaths are 65+

7% of ALL deaths in the country have been COVID-related.

Understand that COVID-related means that the person tested positive with the virus....not that they died from it. Hospitals receive a $13,000 incentive for each patient they treat that tests positive for the virus and another $34,000 for each "COVID-related" death. They are incentivized to overstate the death numbers.

This is much ado about very little and an attempt to socialize the country after they remove Trump from office.....this time by trying to rig the election with mail-in votes that can be manufactured and lost at will.

Now have a good day.

So the whole world is wrong and you are right? Yes the risk is lower for the “players “, but I’m pretty sure they come in contact with those in your age categories. There have also have been a very large number of younger people that have spent 2-3 weeks in hospitals (most in icu). California is fortunate- it is not as densely populated as the east coast and Europe and you closed up in time. It would appear to be insane take away the density advantage by having a few thousand potentially infected people to congregate in your very fortunate isolated Orange County. -but obviously it’s a conspiracy

I’m in finance and have a military background. Spent my whole life in risk analysis and management. Also in risk/reward. I do not see the reward worth the risk

I do think we need to reopen, but it needs to be done methodically and databased. I also believe that there is not a one size fits all. Urban, suburban and rural each have different challenges and needs. It’s obvious the rural regions can open sooner. I really don’t think we will be seeing mass gatherings until there is a therapeutic and/or vaccine. I also believe if you do not practice proper social distancing you are not only reckless, but also rude. Perhaps you don’t care about your own health, but you put others in danger

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but not your own facts. I, also come from a military background and I currently work for the military. The numbers say we shouldn't have sheltered in the first place. The masks you all wear don't stop microbes....they stop spit and phlegm....they are a false sense of security. We can open up tomorrow and the persons most at risk can CHOOSE to lockdown or social distance. We have destroyed millions of peoples' lives for nothing. The whole world, as you put it, are the Globalists....Socialists who want to destroy our economy and our way of life. If fighting against that is rude, I will proudly be rude....it's not like its anything new for me.

You make my point about the youths in ICU....the hospital gets more money, in addition to the $13,000 incentive. There are also millions of people whom have recovered or never even knew they had the virus....that haven't been tested nor confirmed cases.....the death rate is actually abysmally small.

Nobody is in danger....unless you are over 65 and you are one of the 3/10 of 1% of the population that actually contracts the virus.

Lemmings are willful participants in destroying the country.

Certainly glad I never served under you in the military. I don’t like being brought to slaughter

You cherry pick your numbers I personally know 4 people under 5o who spent 3 weeks in hospitals with covid. One in ny, one ct and one in mass. I see what’s going on here and the devastation because the Gov of NY and Mayor of NYC waited too long To act


As far as socialist. European countries may have a welfare state, they are far from Socialist. The means of production are all privately owned. Have you ever been there? My wife’s cousins, who live outside Milan(they actually own factories and their own businesses). The place is devistated

Also, Covid itself does not kill, it causes breakdowns or overeactions the victims immune system that kills-a key point to leave out

I’m sure the Doctors that are part of the conspiracy too.


A lockdown would not have been necessary if we had closed European flights at the same time we closed travel, had added some minor internal travel restrictions, ramped up testing and instituted social distancing earlier, but we didn’t ( hindsight is 20/20). Given the way so many people here don’t practice now is frightening

BTW. Masks worn by the general public are intended to protect others from you, not to protect you
