Surf Cup's Fate

I got tested 3 x in September each time was $125 and results in 20-30 min. My friend just got tested for free at stadium for free . Not sure why it would be 1750, ouch.

Heres a question , say you go to a tournament out of state. Does your club or work have the right to ask you to test and if you refuse to test, do they have the right to force you to quarantine for 10 days?

My friend got tested twice last week and was negative both times. The boss tells him to stay away from the office ((residential electrical company)) and customers are not looking to have someone in their home that looks and acts like he has Rona. Dude got sick earlier in the year and has no sick days left and he can't say Rona because he's negative. $300 for two rapid test the small owner had to pay. If he had Rona, he closes his doors because most of his team is already scared and just need a reason to go on Rona Relief. Runny nose, cough and all that. Q. He's been out of work for 10 days now because of his cough. Can he get Rona Relief? "Oh what a relief it is......????" His boss told him to stay away? Should bossman pay? Bossman is about to close his doors because another dude just said he can't work because he's a afraid of my buddy now, even though he tested negative. Good luck small business owner and all you trades people who keep risking your life helping others.

At least for workplaces, it seems they have a strong case that the employee puts their coworkers at risk by failing to quarantine. I would not want to bet against employers being able to fire an employee in such a case. I can even see the union taking either side.

As California is a right to work state, you can be fired for any reason, including refusing to test or quarantine.

Yes, that is true. I had a friend who owned a company and he caught one of his employee stealing, on camera. This dude was so pissed. Drove to the thief's house and called him out. Fired his ass on the spot. Guess what? Thief sued employer for a few things that the employer was doing wrong and it ended up costing my pal $30,000 to settle. He wasnt documenting the thief's lunch times ((construction)) for over two yeas and got back pay plus attorneys got $10K each for a days work. The moral of the story my pal said? Find a way to get the thief to just quit.......it's way cheaper. It was just some old copper pipes worth $90 and ended up costing my pal $30,000 because he can fire anyone. Dummy!!! Lesson learned :)

Would rather require family's not to go galavanting around town and lay low at the hotel then test. Let them take the stupid out of the stupids.

Our club has stated that they are following CDC guidelines regarding personal travel so if you leave the state for personal or club travel you can either get tested and return to training after 7 days with a negative test, or return to training after 10 days if you didn't get tested.

Aside from the employment laws they ( your club or work) might not be able to require you to quarantine, but they can tell you to stay away, which is effectively a quarantine from them.

They also stated that the club won't be traveling under the current conditions due to US Club Soccer viewing the California travel restrictions as a mandate meaning that travel would put them out of compliance with US Club Soccer rules, invalidating any insurance.

It's possible that any tournament that accepts them might also be at risk as their tournament insurance might night cover the tournament if they accept them and let them play without insurance.

Despite challenging conditions, the voice of our athletes, families, clubs and college coaches is clear – PLAY ON! More than 450 teams reaffirmed their desire to compete for the title of Best of the Best and we feel a responsibility to host this premier youth sports and college recruiting event.

As college recruiting age players have been without an opportunity to showcase themselves the past 9 months, Surf Cup, Scouting Zone and NextPro are teaming up to help connect top players and college coaches. Every game in the recruiting age groups (Boys 01/02/03, 04 and Girls 01/02/03, 04, 05) will be filmed and accessible, free for all college coaches.

Due to the support of communities surrounding Phoenix, we now have access to additional fields for this event. Therefore, we have the unique opportunity to accept 50 additional teams for Surf Cup Phoenix. If you wish to reconsider or be part of this elite event, please apply at www.surfcupsports.com/surf-cup.
Applications must be received by Wednesday, December 16th at 5pm and acceptances will be announced by Friday, December 18th.

Surf Cup has always been a leader in youth soccer and we will continue our mission to provide experiences and opportunities for kids who are desperate for the college exposure and competitive environment that has been missing the past 9 months. We will also lead in our strict adherence to safety protocols both on and off the field, which will be communicated to all teams one week prior to the event.

Please stop trying to practice law. First, CA is not a “right to work” state, what you meant is “at will” state. “Right to work” is a euphemism for employees free-loading off of their co-workers by taking all the benefits of a collective bargaining agreement without paying dues to the union.

Second, it is not necessarily true that an employer can simply fire someone for being the kind of a**hole you describe. There are other factors that come into play here. In many cases, an employer cannot terminate someone simply for refusing to take a covid test or refusing to quarantine. Certainly, employers should fire these employees when they can, since the behavior you describe is part of a larger problem - namely being a selfish a**hole who doesn’t care about the welfare of others.

In other words, the tournament is half the size, and even after they called up all the rejected teams, they still have slots open.

Ouch.

[QUOTE="dad4, post: 372364,

Honestly, at this point I think that even if each team had just another couple of teams to play against, they'd be happy. At least it's something for those that are all-in.

Roughly 400 teams, maybe a bit more have pulled out. Have to hand it to their communications teams, they are doing admirable work. And looks like Scottsdale will honor the contract. Great fields. We'll see what other fields they've been able to harvest. I would guess fields out in the west valley.

They won't have the capability to live stream but at least they will provide video support.
 
I visited an open site this morning out of curiosity. Cute to see 8 to 12 year olds hustling around a soccer field like a swarm of bees, but for me, it underscores how ridiculous it is to have U littles travel to AZ for a tournament...

As exciting as it is for parents to see their kids play and yell “take the shot!” Or “take it all the way!”, it’s just a poor use of time and effort- all the more so with hospitals filling to the brim out there.

Wish everyone well that does go, but time with your little players might be better spent doing some more training drills at home.

LOL best line by far. So that's why you have more space for 50 teams? OK, got it.
 
Does anyone besides me think that attending Surf under the current conditions could violate some sort of university moral/ethics code and adversely impact your kids admissions packet?
