Summer high school baseball alternative tournament is likely to be held in all prefectures New Corona June 12 18:21
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the Federation of High School Baseball in Fukuoka Prefecture, which had announced the abandonment of the original tournament in place of the local summer high school baseball tournament that was canceled, decided to hold it on the 12th However, if it is considered, it is more likely that it will be held in all prefectures nationwide.
Takanoren of Fukuoka Prefecture announced that it will abandon its own tournament on the 25th of last month, but after that the prefectural board of education called for a reexamination, saying that "society is gradually regaining everyday life". So, on the 12th, we discussed again and decided to hold it again.
As a result, according to NHK's interview, Takanoren, which has decided to hold or has a policy to hold an original tournament that replaces the local national high school baseball tournament in summer, had 43 prefectures by the 12th.
In addition, Hokkaido, Gunma, Yamanashi, and Ehime are also considering the possibility of holding the event, and it is more likely that all prefectures in Japan will hold their own competitions.
In order to reduce the risk of infection, there are specific plans for the competition such as holding with no audience, holding only on holidays, competing against one game at each school, and holding tournaments in each district.
However, if the new coronavirus infection spreads, it is possible that the tournament will be canceled, so Takanoren in each region will carefully watch the situation of the infection in the future.
