New Normal Game Setup - a success or a failure?

[GDragon]

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.

I may see it dangerous at first but based on the sports I've watched, it's definitely a success, athlete's are safe and the sports we have before the pandemic is still the sport we watched during the pandemic. Audience and other players are not in attendance but still, they can play once everything turns back to normal. They pulled it off. And it is really a success that will be written down in history. Sports getting through even with a pandemic. Basketball in my country started its season too this week, wishing the league a success too.

Each league have a different setup but overall I think it's a success at the moment even though i've seen some games getting rescheduled and postponed

Indeed. Some players get infected, but we don't know if that player has been infected because of the event or from other places. The player who has been infected needs to explain where they are before the event or after the event. The scheduling of the events will be necessary, especially if many players get infected. Besides that, I agree with @ralle14 that each league, each sport will have a different setup, and they need to use another approach to the player before they played and after they played.

players can get infected or cannot depending on thier lifestyle . we think they wont be because they are physically fit due to training and dieting but if the player abuses him self like eating the wrong foods and dont get enough rest , goes in the party at night and gets late sleep . chances are that they catch a virus because they are also gonna be expose on different people when they are on public places  . id say they dont get infected because of the event because events now are restricted to audiences  . they need to check themselves from time to time so that their games or schedules wont get affected .

Entire sports events were getting affected out of the pandemic, but if a league for the year isn't conducted then it'll surely affect the fanbase during the next year's games. Upon this it is a must to adjust to the prevailing pandemic. Almost in every game some players have got affected, but with the rest the leagues are being played. Hope the entire thing goes normal over the time.

This pandemic is not a hindrance for us to seek for a profit that we want to sustain our needs during this crisis.

That's the reason why most of the investors or businessmen and companies are pushing to reopen their businesses again. This new normal setup is really not hard to do but it just need a lot of time to recover from all of the losses that this pandemic brought to us. We just need to follow the safety protocols and guidelines regarding this pandemic so that we can somehow continue operating businesses even if it is hard to adjust.

Sooner or later, everything will go back to normal and we need to prepare as soon as possible.

This is really a success to us because we adapt depending on the situation and we are the one who are benefiting to it.

I think how most of the leagues managed this year was alright. It could have been better, but also much worse. I really enjoyed in the first weeks of the lockdown to watch some of the old games on TV. Also they tried to resume the games as fast as possible. Playing games without viewers in the stadium seems like a good trade off in the beginning and now letting at least some fans back in the stadiums is good. If they had cancelled all the leagues this year it would have been horrible.

We dont actually have a choice but to adapt on the situation we are in because if we dont then it will just surely worsen up the situation.I cant say that it is not hard to do yet lots of adjustments will be made

which people arent really that get used to and the fact where discipline is one of the most important traits on where people should apply. Follow on whats been ordered or into the new system to avoid further
spread of virus.

For businesses then theres no other option left but to set out new health protocols.Its just sad that some of businesses now are still having closed doors neither temporarily and also there are
who closed totally due to bankruptcy.

For game set-up then we have just recently on how organizations do arrange it up which i conclude it was a success.Yeah, its a different situation but at least it did able to push through but somehow revenue
is highly affected but it is better rather than have nothing at all.

It's really very hard to say if it's success of failure. Even if the official revenues look small, it's really really big under the table. Let's say the IPL which is being hosted in Dubai this year. Although there are no stadium audience this year, am sure the players are still paid handsomely, as well as the game has huge betting 24*7 so yeah, there's lots of revenue. I guess financially it's a success but at the same time, indeed the players are putting their lives at risk under this pandemic!

Its up to them though but no one can really ignore if you would really be paid up something significant.Also, you wouldnt be much worried as a player if you do saw on
the strict health protocol on where the organization been doing.

In my opinion, a complete stop of games is unacceptable, because for many athletes games are the only way to support themselves and their families.

The main funds for sports events financing come from advertisers. So, we continue to watch games broadcasts and cheer for our favorite teams online.

But to this you said, a dead man or woman does not play football or other sports. Someone dead don't watch either. So it is better that they stopped the games to safe more lives. The games have started again and live has continued, people would have died more if the games were not stopped because of contact.

I understand your concern but there are various tournaments being organized because once the players or athletes are quarantined and tested multiple times then they are safe to make any sort of contact like you might have seen how NBA was played which is not finished but it is a game of contact only and since players were tested and reported negative they are safe to make any contact they want and pay the game normally.

The reason why so many sports are affected is because audience - the biggest profit source cannot be tested and ensured that they won't spread the virus if one is infected. I don't think playing was the problem but it took some time to understand how the process should go, that is virtual fans and quarantined players.

It's just impossible, we are talking of thousands of audience here, one of them will have the virus and those thousands are already at risk of getting infected, imagine how it will destroy our protocol if we allow that, we should understand, this pandemic is not forever but let's live on the current situation, follow the protocol and just appreciate what our favorite league has offered to us.

I would call a success because the conditions are totally different and historic. No one had ever witness something like this and under such situation still going ahead with the necessary precautions and taking care of the players as well and still the match is happening itself speak for it. Else it was very easy to just postpone it till we have a vaccine, but that is not the case. There are lot of things that goes behind for a series or match to happen and lot of extra effort I would say all of them including players and the organizers are putting for the smooth conduct of the event.

Yes, I agree with you that the new normal game set up was a success due to the fact that people now are staying safe at homes and because of this many of the gamer will tend to get involved in playing games. Probably if there is a statistics regarding on the rise of gamer around the world I think there will be a high increase compared to when pandemic still not happening.

Now, even if vaccine will be created I guess that gamer will still have fun to play games with some of them are doing set up already of computer games in their homes. A gamer is always a gamer and nothing could change that even after the pandemic is gone or the vaccine is being created.

It means that it's a success since you've mentioned that they are still earning which is a good sign even with the changes and new set-up. Also, it's not like they are the only ones risking their lives just to earn income since every one of us is doing that. No one is exempted from getting the virus so it's a risk to our health but we can't just stop doing something or even sports events because there is a virus spreading since some people are making a living with it.

This we all hope that things could go back to normal and the vaccine to be available. Globally the sports are affected by this pandemic happening but people still manage to have the new normal game set up which is viewers adopt the system. Actually, this is a also a nice setup both for the viewers and players to reduce the spread of this virus which they must follow the guidelines and safety measures.

meanwhile here in Indonesia,
our league was postponed since march. when any other leagues were already started in June, our national football league still not clear whether it will be started again or not  
we have many football supporters here, but our confederation is just that bad.
most of the football teams in this league also have a financial problem.
I'm in doubt that these teams can survive during this pandemic situation.

I only know NBA, boxing and MMA and they all have successful season and events, I don't know about the others, these three sports industry have a market and huge community to provide sporting events, they cannot just stopped their events because so many people are relying in these mentioned sporting events and they are multi million industry, they should do it even there is no profit in the gate.

[ronaldo40]

so far it is successful there's a lot of ongoing leagues and also the playoffs of the nba was successfully finished through the new game setup even though this new setup would cost low revenue and new atmosphere for the players since there's no live audience.

There are too many problem faced by the Indonesian League, even without a pandemic the League could still be postponed for various reason. Are you not paying attention?

This time, the League was postponed because the authorities did not issue a crowd permit despite the fact that every match was not attended by spectator. What is the problem if this League is organized following health rules and protocol. Backwardness is something that is always inherent in our country. Meanwhile, many other countries have been doing business well and succeeding under the new normal. However, the government has the right to carry out its duties properly, even though on the one hand it can harm other parties. Business stagnate, sponsor lose money and player may not receive salaries.

players can get infected or cannot depending on thier lifestyle . we think they wont be because they are physically fit due to training and dieting but if the player abuses him self like eating the wrong foods and dont get enough rest , goes in the party at night and gets late sleep . chances are that they catch a virus because they are also gonna be expose on different people when they are on public places  . id say they dont get infected because of the event because events now are restricted to audiences  . they need to check themselves from time to time so that their games or schedules wont get affected .

The lifestyle can also impact them, especially if they can't take care of themselves in their environment. When the player goes out with their friends or family and don't follow the protocols, they can get an infection while they are in the out. That can also infect the other player when they gather in one room to meet or prepare for the match.

The chance to get an infection in the field can be reduced as before they enter the field, and they need to pass the protocols, so the only chance they get infected is from what they do in their home or the public area. Checking themselves before and after the match will recommend keeping their health at the prime conditions because that can prevent the virus infection.

The new normal adaptation is quite good not only for the gamblers but also for the casino heads if and only if will be implemented correctly and also if the gamblers will follow the restrictions, rules and regulations of a certain casino. Everybody should priorities their health because the virus are everywhere and cannot be seen by our naked eyes. Prevention is always better than cure we should bare in mind that.

Yeah, you are right, they also have a really really bad schedule.
No wonder our national team and representative clubs on asian club competition always f*cked up.

These pandemic should be a momment for our confederation to sync the schedules.
It will be good to start the league on the same period with other AFC countries. At least AFF countries. Stop the league, and freshly start it in the same time with that mentioned countries.

Some teams usually have a problem with their player salaries, I wonder how messy that teams now.

[nakamura12]

I don't care if it is a success or failure. The things is that ww should be thankful that the sports are resumed and we can watch the sports we love to watch. Players have to follow instructions to follow so that they will know if the players are healthy and ready to play instead of no sports are continued.
