Will we get 2020-21 GP assignments, and when?

MacMadame said:
I really feel for them. I had to cancel my event because there was no way to hold it safely and still make money. Or even break even. Now when the event date rolls around, maybe it will turn out that many restrictions have been lifted and we could have held it after all. But I have to start spending money NOW. It's not worth continuing with all the uncertainty. And I only have to worry about 1 venue in one county, not many regulations in many places all over the world with people traveling all over the world to participate.

If the ISU does hold GP events, there is a good chance they will lose a ton of money. If they hold them and one of them becomes a hotspot, they can lose more than money. Organizations tend to be risk-averse. Holding an international series of events is not the same thing as an individual deciding whether or not to go to a bar.

Fun fact, ISU is not holding the events, the local federations (organizations) are. At least for JGP and GP

Fun fact they probably have less monetary funds than ISU and are less likely to take big risks.
Maybe you are willing to pay their costs if something is cancelled?
As far as I know concert fans here are waiting for their ticket refunds.

why should I. I just would like to have the events holded and watch all the competions and skaters. but seems like not many here want that. i'm just trying to stay optimistic. whats so wrong with that?
 
Oh I think 100% of the members here want to see events. I think there is realistic and fantasy. Obviously YMMV
 
the fact that people think maxpower and I are the same person only because we share a similar opinion EXACTLY proves my point.

it's so incomprehensible to you guys that more than one person would dare disagree with the groupthink here, you automatically have to assume we're the same person.

No, we’re not. People have posted lucid arguments about logistics, financing, and liability. You and your friend are saying everyone here is too old for their analysis to count in the discussion. You do realize we have international judges here? And broadcasters? And senior people from most of the federations? The old people are going to decide. If it’s financially and logistically feasible, there will be some sort of international competition this season. Unfortunately, signs are saying that they can’t make the GPs work.

No one wants the season cancelled. Everyone is just trying to be realistic about the situation.

Would it hurt if you are a little optimistic or let some optimistic opinions be valid and not try to destroy them

Of course I dont know the people here. I'm new here with a different opinion and I am just getting attacked every time. And I never said that everyone here is too old. I probably met some of the members in real life...so I am respectfully greeting them. But they never attacked me like that. I am just part of the ISU circuit so this is my opinion about that.

Too close to the disappointment of losing Worlds. We were all optimistic until March 10th, then the shit hit the fan. I’d rather not have my hopes dashed again.

Yeah true, I was really looking forward. It was 2 days before entering the plane. And I believe it still could be holded at that time
