MRDA Board Covid-19 Update- 20 April 2020

Posted on by Girl Fawkes

The MRDA has extended our timeline from May 1st to May 15th at this time. Further details below.

Recommendations for member leagues:

  • We recommend suspension of training and competition until at least May 15th.
  • Leagues should maintain compliance with local public health advice for when to resume.
  • MRDA League Reps- please complete the postseason questionnaire available on the forums

Sanctioning, Compliance and Rankings:

  • Sanctioning for games scheduled between now and May 15th has been revoked.
    • Requests to sanction games between now and May 15th will be refused.
    • Games with revoked sanctioning will count towards compliance / rankings.
    • The above may be extended out beyond May 15th.
  • Minimum number of games for compliance / rankings reduced from 5 to 3 until June.
    • We may further reduce the minimum number of games before June.
    • Prior to June, we will reassess and establish protocol for the following 12 months.
  • Games already submitted for sanctioning that are (or have been) cancelled due to the virus will count towards compliance, and therefore post-season eligibility.
  • Games at MRDA Endorsed tournaments that are (or have been) cancelled due to the virus will count towards compliance, and therefore post-season eligibility.
  • Games cancelled due to the virus will incur no forfeit disciplinary actions.

Men’s Roller Derby World Cup (July):

MRDA Post-season (August and October):

  • At this time, we are planning for both Playoffs and Championships to proceed as scheduled. We are hoping to have more information out in early May.
  • We are keeping in contact with the hosts throughout this time and will communicate any changes as soon as they are known.

WFTDA and JRDA further information:

The situation is very fluid, and the Board is continually reviewing and assessing our response to it – we expect that our plans and response will change over time, and we will provide updates as appropriate.

Thank you,

The MRDA Board
