For me, it is a success.

It is not that easy to manage a lot of people, millionaires, to start with, putting in a place and behave there as they should be. A lot of things happened but it went well in the end. They adjusted so well, they did so well in maintaining these people, following the protocol and such. It won't end that easy but I hope it ends this year.

Honestly speaking I might be the only one with this opinion but having sports without fans is actually good because there is no useless noise and crowd and the games are happening so peacefully. I was watching IPL the other day and the virtual fans sound they have implemented makes it feel like real crowd is there while there is no fights happening and the matches are going on quite swiftly. If fans were there it was always more intense and rivalry based matches.

I am not saying I don't like fans cheering for their teams but some sports are so much better without fans. I love watching soccer with filled stadiums no doubt but I would always want cricket matches happening with less crowd in future too.

We are still not out of the woods because there's no commercial vaccine yet.
So whether the new normal game set-up will be success or a failure, just be grateful that we can watch them live again.
I know this is hard for those die-hard fans who are going to the stadium or arena just to support their favourites.
But it is better to safeguard everyone from potential infection and of course save lives with this decision.
In time, we will enjoy the game again as what we had before.

I definitely agree with this.

So much efforts are being put in every actions of those people who wanted to continue their passion in the amidst of pandemic, even if it's too dangerous especially in sports. Sports betting and the sports industry are also being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic just like any other businesses in the whole world economy, therefore they are making ways to make it work again to slowly make their business rise up again.

Playing sports, mostly team sports are dangerous because there's no physical distancing which is prone on getting a COVID-19 virus. So yes, in this new normal, we must appreciate all of the efforts in all of the businesses and other things that are trying hard in the middle of pandemic. We must help each other to survive this pandemic.

Well, I can see that everyone appreciated their effort here as no one voted for "no" in the poll. It's a big success as they were able to provide real entertainment despite it's not advisable to have physical contact in the current situation but they find a way to make it happen and provide us the sports that we really love to watch.

As a fan of sports, I am grateful for what they had done especially the NBA.

I would also appreciate UFC's president Dana White a big credit for organizing these fights during such tough times because UFC was expected to dry up as we all know how much spectators matters in fights in UFC as they create a whole atmosphere, anyone who watched UFC with crowd knows what I mean. But they kept making fights happen and never let the crowd factor let them down.

Quote from: Reid on October 19, 2020, 10:51:46 AM

I mean, they could increase it a little to gain some profits but there will still be advertisements that will pay high amounts to get a spot.

I guess there is enough revenue to keep the sports like NBA going because they earn massive just by selling TV rights and sponsors so if they make small revenue it is still better than having no NBA and facing loss.

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.

Lots of people are dealing and coping up with it so I could say that it's a success for us. It might sound too early to conclude but since we can adopt it, I believe that it's working well for everyone. Since we're in this kind of situation, we have no choice but to embrace the new normal even for sports or any kind of game. We have to look at the brighter side of it though we're having a hard time sometimes.

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.

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.

With that setup trial, I'm sure more good features will be added in the future while waiting for the world to come back again to normal.

It is hard to start sports again in this pandemic, while people are suggested to stay away from the crowd. We should give support to the sports association which cares to continue the sports events. The effort they did should appreciate by always taking care of ourselves because without us, they can't do something, and if they don't show the effort, we will not have entertainment in the sports.

I am sure that we can reduce the new case, and the sports will have a chance to resume the events, although they follow the health protocols from the government. We can watch our favorite teams or players on the field again. Once the virus is ended, everything will be back to normal, and we can watch them at the stadium and still give support to them.

Without the new normal game setup, it is impossible for sports matches to run again in a pandemic situation. I can say that the new
normal game setup is quite successful to be implemented now, although there are still some shortcomings it is something that is natural
to happen. Because it is impossible to run perfectly, but it must be admitted that this new normal game setup provides a few changes to
some of the game results. Due to the absence of a live audience, the home advantage is no longer valid, with many strong teams
experiencing defeats.

We cant say completely that the current situation is the main reason on why those strong teams are experiencing defeats.How about those third seed teams on making out some good runs?
Does it mean that theyre good in current set-up we are in? Its not really that a valid reason for a team to tell that this current situation do really heavily affect their performance.
When it comes to this new normal game set-up comments then its a success it is indeed different but at least the pending games were revived and continued and finish off the season.
Difference is evident but doesnt mean that it would be a reason on completely shutting down this industry.

Nothing will be presented without this new setup, fans embrace this system as they don't have any options to continue enjoying the games.

managements though anticipate or plan it ahead but there are still situations that happened which normal and tolerable.

There are changes that needs to happened since the setup is no longer the same from what's the original, adjustments needs to
implement to proceed and continue the games.

Not sure how that situation affects the performance of the teams / players, but we do witnessed what's happening
and the absence of the fans really counts.

Many players was affected by the covid-19 during the lockdown that make some team get more worry about the up coming match if there's any thing the coach can do to make sure those three players are part of the game. If those three players are allow to play the team will surely win the game. I don't think there's any way they can allow someone who is in insolation center to play because others players in the field their life is at risk . No way this game will end win without all those players insolate after the lockdown.

In sports there is not only one player and even though the core player is affected by this virus, at least there are other players who will replace him and that is the function of the reserve players. However, a new setup must indeed be implemented in this pandemic situation because it is also to ensure that anyone who enters the stadium is safe and clean, if no new setup is implemented then of course it will endanger many people. So, I think this new setup is successful because it keeps the match rolling, of course it is a wait for anyone who enjoys it.

That is actually the main problem. When you have one player inffected that might reflect the whole team because the others who were in close contact with him night be endangered too and get infected. That is also a problem for the audience and with only few people infected virus could spread quite easily. I don't think that anyone likes new normal but as it looks for now we would need to get used to it.

I've added a poll to see the overall status of the subject.

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.

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.

It is till better to have some games going on even without fans in the stadium than to have no games at all and waiting for the pandemic to end and hope the stadiums will be filled. Also I think even after the pandemic will get over and people return to normal life I expect the crowd to reduce in numbers because there will always be a fear among people of making huge gatherings and a slight chance of getting corona positive is enough to keep the fans away.

As a gambler I don't mind if games are being played with filled stadiums or empty ones as long as they are happening and we have some real matches to bet on because Simulated Reality sports are just plain dumb and I rather prefer playing slots than betting on those.

It's all about the ability and readiness to adapt. Just like in any other business sport and gambling will need to adjust in order to survive.
Pandemic will not last forever, although we can't know what else might happen but meanwhile great flexibility is needed and that is the only way to continue with our lives and activities, including enjoying the sport and betting on it.

This "situation" will not last forever, this madness will pass! And as it's said earlier, some will find a way to adapt and survive, others will have to think about changing careers! But it's like with many other industries affected by new rules and regulations. In many ways most of us are affected, as always privileged are just the ones on the top!

That is exactly also what I look into this pandemic.

We'd never know who are behind this madness, we all are affected. Yet we don't like the new normal but the government pushing us to adapt to the situation. But gamblers still have the option and that is to watch live games online, online betting, and this is the advantage for online casinos. Probably they are happy with what the new normal happens, unlike how offline casinos felt this time.

Anyhow, the pandemic is likely already hitting its peak, pretty soon this will be over, and will be got back to the normal environment where we live.

Pushing us to adopt since we should live even there's a situation like this, and if we will not adopt on new normal then how can survive or the economy on this crisis? And for sure many adopt with new set up as well in sports scene.

And I really expect that this will end up next year the vaccine will successfully available since some of them are in final stages as WHO stated.

Also it's good to see the major league came back and for what NBA got after the bubble and successfully finish the finals for sure we can call the new normal game set up as a success.

Nothing lasts forever

It's definitely a good thing that they started it and this might also become the new norm since the pandemic is not over yet.
It will certainly not match the level of joy and excitement when people used to go to stadium to watch but it has surely become a way for people to enjoy the league while being safe and secure at home.
The revenue might be a problem in the beginning because not everybody are used to such a kind of setup but as time goes people to adapt to it.
May be in future, both the real and virtual method of watching a league will generate additional revenue than what is generating today.
Adapting to changes is what brings growth.
