I don’t understand how CCA is running this event.
Their advertising says:
Under Illinois COVID rules, in the current phase, the tournament would be limited to 50 players per section assuming each section is in a separate room - so a total of 350. There are multiple schedules, so if each schedule were also in a separate room, they could have an additional 50 per schedule per section. But once they merge, they are limited to 50 per section.
Actually, a little less, because that isn’t counting the TDs.
The way Illinois applies their COVID restrictions, you can’t have 50 people in room A and another 50 people in room B, unless the people in rooms A and B never come in contact with each other.
I don’t understand how they can advertise a based on of 800, when their maximum is 350 - unless Illinois moves to the Bridge phase by the end of May. This is not something I’d bet on right now. To have a tournament of 800 under the NEXT phase, they’d have to have room for 1,333.
Anyone have an idea what they are thinking?
