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.

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.
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 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
Quote
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.

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.

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.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.

Let us be contented in what we are allow so far,in i few months we will be in watching live again.
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.

The fact that most sports sector adjusted the moment the pandemic started constitute a big success for me.
Generally, these people have to follow strict mandates and protocols before engaging to such activity due to the risks involved. Again, they managed to continue the games live (despite having a virtual audience) and even if they acquired a relatively low amount of revenue compared before, they managed to find a way to still earn. That for me is a huge success in such sector.

As long as the government can found the vaccine and people can get a cure from the vaccine, everything will slowly back to normal, and the sports will live again with the audience at the stadium. We need to enjoy the time now because sports finally can restart after it stops for months. We can have entertained temporarily, and it is no problem if we can only watch our team or player from our home for our safety.

High probability that they will push it. Vaccine should be available first to most people. This will be the only way for people to be more or less at peace with himself to mingle with other people. Even the government will not allow people to be in crowded places without seemingly strong protection from the spread of the virus.
It is not enough to make the people feel that it is safe even with the release of the vaccine, perhaps, it supplies might be insufficient whenever a huge breakout happens because people are already celebrating. Whenever the vaccine came out, we should still practice to gradually adjust back to life before and should not jump to conclusion that it was safe already.
IMO, the new Normal Game Setup is the best setup we have through utilizing the technology and blockchain to facilitate gambling instead of just plain Internet. We should be thankful that before the crisis happened, crypto gambling casinos were already established. It is just that, majority of the gamblers aren't fully aware of it so they need to adjust.

It'll be interesting to see how bigger events like the winter olympics or Paris olympics end up. As those involve moving athletes from all around the world together and be a way for the virus to spread if it's not handled properly. In my country it's a bit bizarre to see football stadiums that usually hold 50,000+ people completely empty and it must be a bit of a surreal atmosphere for the footballers. I wonder if they are happy in a way because there are less distractions from the stands..
I think the Olympic body has to decide that they have to hold the schedule or re-scheduled it next year, it wasn't really lively to see and for the safety of everyone. And I don't think also that the government will allow it during this complicated time. Because if they'll have to push it, I wonder if it has better results, limited players, limited live audience, it is just like a dead Olympic. It certainly not give an entertaining result, much better if they move it when the pandemic is over and everyone could fully enjoy the moment.High probability that they will push it.

Just imagined how much effort they made to bring back sports during the wild spread of the pandemic. It's impossible to open up such sports when we looked at how fast and quick the spread of the virus. But even with that serious concern, sports slowly resumes and even ended what they left prior to the global lockdown.
I believe NBA was a great success because although the gameplay was below average quality and the NBA finals never felt like they were finals but at least organized the league in a really good manner and some of the games were really good apart from some horrible officiating and bad plays at times but that is understandable with no spectators there is always a lack of energy within players.What do you mean by "gameplay was below average"?
The game itself in the NBA bubble has the same intensity like when you're watching it live on TV, except the court was empty. It might just be a bit disappointing for some fan, because of the unexpected outcome and match up upset. Horrible officiating is kinda normal even during the normal days, that's considered as inevitable.
I don't know why some fans felt that there were something lacking and not a hundred percent satisfied with the result. Remember how hard it was for the players to adjust into the new normal inside the bubble. That was more than a sport they risks everything for the fans and to salvage the NBA business. Being a champion inside the bubble is something unforgettable in NBA history.

As long as the league or event was finished smoothly without any problems, then that's a success no matter how much profit or revenue they made. It's already expected that revenue will be affected.
That is true and for gamblers they get something to bet on real sports because these days e-sports have been vastly popular and another sport that was famous these days is Table Tennis but both of these I hate betting on because I have not much knowledge how they work and it is like betting on random games and then hope to win.Just imagined how much effort they made to bring back sports during the wild spread of the pandemic.

I'm seeing a post that doesn't understand well the definition of "Success" and "Failure of the new normal setup.
Success means that the setup follows all the health protocols and able to finish the whole season (e.g basketball) or certain events (e.g boxing, e-sports) without recording a new case of the virus spread. While at the same time, able to give entertainment to the fans at their home. A failure on the other hand means that even with a strict protocol, the virus still breached the league resulting in a much worst-case scenario.
In my country there is a referee in basketball that is suspected to be a covid positive so the game were paused by that time, thankfully in his test result he was negative. We never know whom others meet or interact with so as the players were facing new normal and they know they have a game or events to deal with it's everyone's responsibility to follow the protocols, the needed quarantine time before the game. It's nice that the league continues but it will be a failure even they win in a game if ever someone in their te tested positive so better be careful, we all hope that this game setup will be successful in not spreading more virus even they continue the games.

To be honest, as a football fan, watching the game without spectators at the stadium reduces the excitement of the match.
But like it or not we really have to get used to this new game setup, even though we really don't want it. Because indeed
a football match with a live audience is desired by many people. So far the new game setup is running quite well, even though
the corona virus is still spreading, but by running this new normal game setup the number of deployments can be minimized.
But I really hope that a vaccine can be found soon, so that the football game can run normally as usual.
This is something that also happens to me and to be quite frank it surprises me, after all the players are still doing their best on the field but without any spectators the event seems lifeless and it is missing that excitement, there is a psychological study that shows that smiles are contagious, if you see people smiling then most likely you will begin to smile soon afterwards and maybe that is what is happening, without the excitement of other people on the screen it is more difficult for people to feel a connection with the game and feel excited about it as well.
