The Takano Ren = Japan High School Baseball Federation and others have decided to start considering new measures, including a two-part system in which the game is divided into morning and evening, as a measure against the heat of summer national high school baseball held at Koshien Stadium. I decided.
At the summer national high school baseball championships held every August at Koshien Stadium, measures against heat are a major issue in terms of the health of athletes.
On the 27th, Takano Ren and others will hold a steering committee of the tournament and will start considering various new measures, including a two-part system that will be held separately in the morning and evening, in order to avoid the daytime match when the temperature rises in the future. I decided.
He said that he had not decided on any details such as the time to play the game and the number of games per day, and he would like to discuss the issues while arranging them.
At the tournament, measures such as increasing the number of rest days have been taken so far, but Takano Ren and others said, "For athletes and spectators, we must give top priority to holding the tournament safely. We decided to start a discussion to add countermeasures. "
In addition, at the steering committee on the 27th, regarding the tournament that will start on the 6th of next month, as a measure against heat and infection to the new corona, all the tickets that were supposed to be sold in advance on the Internet will be reserved seats in the outfield. Only, I decided to sell the same-day ticket after carefully judging the safety aspects the day before.
