It seems no in in the Olympics decision-loop wants to be the one who publicly states 'it ain't gonna happen'. I suspect the same is true w/r/t 2021 DCI. What I hope is that DCI has some firm metrics that need to be met for the 2021 season to happen. And dates they need to happen by. I am fine w/ DCI not telling us fans what these are, but I would like to know that these metrics exist.

Yeah Olympics sound like they want everyone to agree before the announcement to cover themselves. Thinking quiet from DCI is for same reasons.

DFA1970 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 To me any decision needs to be a strategic decision not a last minute one. I really don't know how corps who are going to field some sort of corp doing this and what is required of the participants. Yes pro sports have done this and there are hiccups but they also have the means and funds to make it safe for their players. Pro sports make money on TV and cable money...not spectators. We don't have that luxury! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
