I appreciate the centralized post listing all the events that have been postponed or canceled due to the virus. I would be very interested in seeing if we can share the status of individual teams on:
*bans from out-of-state or out-of-country travel, preventing them from attending their scheduled event(s),
*bans on attending any event, even within the same state or city.
This is not intended to be at cross-purposes with threads about canceled events. For instance, Colorado Regional (week 4) is currently still scheduled, however, I would like to know if teams from Netherlands (6920) and Mexico (7740) will be attending, or teams from out of state, like 323 or 3374, will be able to come. I also know that some school districts within our state (Cherry Creek, at least) are restricting travel.
If you or anyone you know has a buddy in a PNW school district, please post if there has been any restrictions. I’m going to try and get as complete of a list as I can.
This list is moot given the announcement of the cancellation of FIRST PNW, but id like to note that FIRSTWA cited over half of their teams would not have been able to compete regardless.
I should add though, and I’d guess that this is the same for most of @MikLast’s teams, that most of these teams would negotiate with their distrct to compete regardless of current rule, especially if they get invited to world’s.
I don’t think we (1108) will be restricted travel at least without major changes locally for Colorado and are still planning to leave Tuesday, and visit the Museum of Nature & Science on Wednesday.
I’m less certain today that we won’t be affected than I was last week. Especially seeing the state declare emergency and city cancel the St. Patrick’s parade today. I think it largely depends on local health and university officials whether we the regional will go on like planned.
With the postponement of SFR and a school district travel restriction which will prevent us from leaving the Bay Area to drive to AVR in Lancaster, team 100 will likely not be competing in the foreseeable future (pending any other schedule changes).
If we could crowdsource a list of the event keys of all events cancelled/postponed I could generate an effected team list and a summary that would show % of teams with entire season cancelled.
All Clark County Nevada School District schools banned from travel outside of the state or country as of last Thursday ( 1 hour after 987 left for LA…fortunately they allowed us to continue our trip:) ).
