New Normal Game Setup - a success or a failure?

[CODE200]

Some of the sports leagues that got canceled due to the pandemic already finished with their respective resumes with some still on-going and lots of future events will take place under the new normal setup.

We have seen how these leagues put big efforts to somehow bring the sports back while people don't need to go outside to watch. They also think of a way on how to help players feel that the intense and excitement is still there performing in front of the fans.

Even with low ratings and small revenue (as expected), I consider this new normal setup as a success. It's not that easy to set up an own bubble amid the dangerous pandemic.

Kudos to their effort.

Just having the idea that sports can come to play now and team are conducting their practice normally ?this means Success mate.
imagine for how many months that the world stops not only in sports and gambling but everything in essentials ?
Let us be contented in what we are allow so far,in i few months we will be in watching live again.

In my country, a basketball leauge tried to cope up with the new normal and chose to continue despite of the situation. It is ealier today wherein one player tested positive in covid, which worries other sports organization of reopening their leagues right now. This may only prove that it will not always be the same. Just because in other countries made it back, things will go the same with the others. Relating this to the topic, there are really worries in the side of the players and the only sucess we should look forward with is the safety of the players and people around the world. Maybe the continuation is not applicable to all, it depends still in some aspects.

Amid this argument, i would still love to resound my words again, that the sit at home to watch matches still better than the days we all lost the scene. Hopefully we don't see the second wave of the pandemic becasue this will totally crumble the world of sports again like few months ago. The current set-ups so far is the best for now and we're enjoying it positive impact, hoping for the days we all gather again in chanting among friends.

It feels like that we aren't already having some panicking of this pandemic situation which I do feel it turns out to be like a casual stuff or illness that we do have today.

We are embracing the new normal and talking about second wave? I don't consider for it to happen yet the spread is still unstoppable as of this day.

There's nothing we can do but to deal on what we had today.Just be thankful that organizations do really make ways to continue amidst of this hard situation.

Many leagues right now have successfully finished and obviously, it's a success since they managed to handle it despite the pandemic we're facing.

I'm pretty sure that organizers have work with full effort to implement the sports event even it has low revenue and such. They've handled everything even the health protocol, to avoid spreading the virus. Also, the management will be also at risk if popular athletes have contacted the virus, they should be aware of those and act, the organizers can be also blamed for this.

So I consider this a success, it's pretty hard tho.

They have get used to the current situation, even in some leagues where some get tested with covid-19, they just isolate the players which are affected but still continue the league, they will not be stop by covid-19 because if they will allow it, the sports and gaming or entertainment industry will die.

It is difficult to pushed through a game in this midst of pandemic, health protocol and social distancing were top priority. But its amazing to consider that have some game successfully finished despite of the issue. Considering how diffucult to pushed a game that's why new normal game setup would probably the priority of every game or sports organizer as of now. Esports would probably the best choice to consider but i think it would be hard to implement especially in a team sports.

It is really true, for example, this game ; https://www.goal.com/en/match/lens-v-nantes/7st9z0pzq92sgqgwmifddgc4q

French Ligue 1 game called off as Lens report 11 coronavirus cases

The French Ligue 1 game between Lens and Nantes due to be played on Sunday has been postponed after 11 members of the home squad tested positive for coronavirus, officials have confirmed.

In a statement, the league (LFP) said that "noting the certain absence of 11 Lens players from a list of 30 because of positive RT-PCR tests...it has decided to postpone the game between Lens and Nantes scheduled for Sunday to a later date".

That certain game was postponed but it doesn't stop the legue, it still continue so fans would still see the league they want to see.

[Stedsm]

Yes, kudos to what they have all been doing, hats off to players for playing at their front foot for people's entertainment and thanks to all the gambling websites which allow us to bet on them, as the excitement would have been crunched if these things were not there. It's not that we just want to gamble, but watching them with full anxiety and waiting for someone to win is all we want. This new setup has once again filled life in audience who's been waiting for more than 3 months to be able to see their favorite sport as many sports took longer to resume and we only had digital games mostly to bet on.

With the poll at the start, only 5 voters participated so far. So I am assuming most of those who commented on this thread have no preference, whether the current set-up is a success or failure.

It is interesting that only 8 people have voted so far and I also find it interesting that not a single one has voted for the failure option, but in a way this is understandable after all if the options are to have some sports on the screen with a lot of restrictions put in place and to not have anything then most people will prefer to have some sports even if the feeling of excitement is not the same and will consider this to be a success, and I feel the same, it is obvious that it is not what we all want but I am glad that we have sports back as it is also important to keep ourselves happy especially now that the threat of a lockdown seems like it is about to make a comeback all over the world.

People are probably confused and don't know what to think anymore. Yes, from one point of view is better to have at least something than nothing but them again it's not good enough because it's not the same feeling, the same excitement. Also, having in mind development of pandemic we don't even know if we'll ever get back to normal that we once new before. However, I hope that we'll have at least some sports to bet and enjoy.

[Rengga Jati]

It is actually an alternative where they can still pay and also set up sports and sports lovers can still enjoy them.
However, with that kind of setup, it must give different effects to the audiences and also sponsorship. In this case, we can't compare the success as usual when in a normal situation, this is a new normal. setting up the sports to exist can be said as good progress than no sport anymore.
The conspiration of success or failure may depend on the ratings, income from sponsorship, and others. And of course, it will reduce the income of the tickets as usual. Well, this is not good. But actually, the new normal sports can really fulfil the curiosity and interest from the audience.

We are all in the same foot when it comes to feelings and views on the current situation we are in.Its totally different and we do much prefer those normal days where

we can go inside in the gym and do witness out the games that we do like and can also bet online with seeing that there are lots of crowds where you can really feel

the thrill and excitement as a player or team can make a score.Theres nothing can beat out that kind of feeling but now we are on a pandemic situation then
we wont have any choice but to deal with it.We are trying our best to proceed on in spite of the situation which is really indeed better
than have nothing at all.

[Inkdatar]

I can say a success because we have an alternative option despite these pandemic situations we're suffering we still able to watch the game at home.  We should also be grateful that the entertainment industry is alive during these times. The setup is not easy so applause to everyone who put the event together and adopts this new normal setup.

And remember that leagues already accept that big losses will come their way but still push for the sports resume. They can just suspend the game for good but decided to continue so fans can still watch at their home. Being stuck at home for long can create mental problems that can affect every person's health.

We need entertainment in a time like this. The new normal setup will not last for long so we just need to bear with the alternative while waiting for the world to comeback to normal.

[verita1]

I also believe that the new normal in the resumption of games is a success. Because it has not been easy to carry them out because the virus has been everywhere and the players and the staff despite the strict measures that they have been implementing, the virus has come to affect them. But thanks to the quick and timely prevention, the organizers of the sporting events have been able to solve the problems. We have also noted the sensitivity and generosity of the players and team owners who have supported with significant donations to counteract the effect of covid19.

Exercise and entertainment is a vital of aspect of a healthy living for every human being. This is one of the things the resumption of the games has brought to the table. The athletes stay fit by doing what they do and getting paid while, the fans are entertained watching the actions from behind their screens. That is a win.
And I was also happy to see a handful of spectators to have start featuring in the Italian league games. I don't know the criteria for letting in spectators though I'm sure would be in accord with Covid19 guidelines but then, it shows we are actually getting somewhere with the new normal situation. Another win.

Not all of the sports and league have a success operation again ot what they called a bubble. One of the successful league is the NBA where the Commissioner really focus on the physical and mental health of every players. In terma of the basketball league in my country, I do not considered it as success because there is one referee and a player that become poaitive through PCR testing. I think they ahould tighten their security amd health protocols in order to prevent the spread of the virus. I want also commend the other leagues and sports out there that are now operating again. We betters lovely to see a exciting game again.

[jademaxsuy]

A success of course just take the NBA as an example after successfully ended the league with Lakers as declared as the Champion's leauge after winning the Finals vs. Miami heat.

Other sports too are now close to end the season or league like soccer and boxing to which a physical contact sporta too had resume. The only thing that has gone missing in the continuation of the sports were the crowd that love to watch sports event. This is really not usual and many are now watching through live. This is not ideal becausw mostly fans do like to watch in the arena to witness the game or event.

[semobo]

Because it is they business, don't forget sports also one of the profitable business in this world so they are finding their chances to survive in this pandemic.Yes they are going to make less revenue but sooner they are going to make up with increasing the fee to watch the match, online streaming costs and etc.

[toast]

i don't see so much impact of the covid-19 to the sports community since the way i bet from before is still the same, the leagues still continues until now. i think it's because of the effort of sports managements who make the leagues still possible in the middle of the pandemic. i think it was a succcess.
