COVID-19 Data from PBR and PG

Where do you live and what are the schools currently doing? 

Good luck with PG or PBR sharing any info. My guess is they intentionally didn't track that stuff. I wouldn't have tracked it if I were them. 

Grand Park was doing various studies this summer; one published here:

But, this was a survey done in May, and was more about what people expected, than about numbers of cases.  My impression is that all sports except for college and professional have been acting under a "don't ask, don't tell" policy, so I wouldn't think you would find any numbers.

PG did track Covid - gave it  7.5 score and invited it to the next national showcase 

All I can say ... I drove my kid 2 hrs to play in a PG tournament game, only after our arrival did I learn the game was cancelled.  third-hand parent whispers said the other team's coach had Covid. The covid team stayed in the tournament pool yielding a forfeit one day (one game) at a time.  Some parents said teams were vanishing from their pool schedule routinely each weekend in the NY/NJ regional PG tournaments.  No official communications from PG on the subject to the players registered to play the covid team.  Just whispers and rumors floating about like the spotted lanternfly.  I know ... terrible to be spreading rumors ... maybe a PG official would like to join this discussion topic.

Heard nothing official from PG/PBR in 3 months of events here in GA. And frankly hear nothing through the grapevine. 

I can’t imagine how they would track it, or if would frankly even be legal. 

Son’s org had 1 potential case in a younger age group. Teammates were asked to quarantine till test results came back, but thankfully it was negative.

Overall, for the most part people I saw seemed to take it seriously and treat it with caution....aside from the dipsh!t kid who forgot his water one game and decided to drink out of my son’s jug. 

I know of one 16u Georgia team that had to withdraw from a PG tournament because a player tested positive a few days before the event.  The team shut down for two weeks while they all got tests.  No one else was positive.

We had THE PG official (the founder) as a regular participant on the board for many years until a group of posters a few years ago hassled him so badly he left. He only did things like get poster’s kids into tournaments and on teams who missed deadlines. He was a straight shooter. He told posters PG isn’t for everyone. Some posters were still upset PG was willing to take anyone’s money. They also blamed him for the weather.
