Player Waiver Form To Play For More Than One Team

 

We are elated to announce that we have received permission from the City of Columbus Health Department to have one spectator per athlete per day.  Spectators cannot change during the day for our remaining events at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.  The Team COVID Coordinator is part of the team roster on the bench.  They are not counted as a spectator.  Spectators must bring your own chair!  This is a change from the last two events.  Again, one spectator per athlete.  No Exceptions!  Do not even ask.

 

Each team is allowed one Head Coach (required) and ONE Assistant Coach (optional) and one COVID Coordinator (required).  Coaches and COVID Coordinators are not allowed a spectator.  Only players.  Coaches cannot also be the COVID Coordinator at the same time

 

There will be marks on the floor where you may put your chair.  Must maintain social distancing and must wear a mask.  Two coaches and one COVID Coordinator chairs will be provided in the bench area.  Also, chairs will be provided for the scoretable support staff.

 

Here is the Check-In process for this weekend (May 8 & 9).

 

The Team COVID Coordinator (CC) is responsible for maintaining a contact tracing list, including coaches, athletes, and spectators.  The forms are available on the OVR website (Contact Tracing Form) and (Spectator List).  The Spectator List must be submitted to OVR staff upon the CC’s arrival for each day of competition; the Contact Tracing Form remains with the CC.   The CC is part of the team roster (not a spectator) and must be at/near the team bench when the team is competing during a match.
