Championships update!
At this point in time we are feeling cautiously optimistic that Championships will be a 'go' this year.
The vaccine rollout is going well, numbers are on a downward trend, and there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel.
Springfield, Ohio is also one of the best options for this type of event during the current pandemic, given that it's fairly open with a LOT of stalls, so if we need to space people out it's possible to do.
If the past year has taught us anything though, it's not to assume anything! So while we are going to start posting entry forms, camping info, hotel info and the like, things could always take a turn for the worst and it all be for nothing.
Over the next week you're going to start seeing a lot of info posted, anything regarding Championships will always be posted on the Championships page of the website, and that is your best place to look.
We are going to be listing some COVID precautions that will be taken at the event. These precautions will be updated as the year progresses and a clearer view is laid out for what things will be like at our event. We're going to be basing the current precautions on what the current situation is. If things improve dramatically by the time Champs is happening, some of those precautions may be adjusted or lifted. Or some may be reinforced.
We're feeling optimistic that the infection and death rate will be drop below the numbers we had last year at the time of cancellation, and that will be another big goal that we want to see.
There is also going to be adjustments made to qualification requirements for all groups, Stakes included.
And if you were qualified to go to Champs in 2020 then you are automatically invited in 2021.
