On their presidium meeting on August, 17th, the World Rock 'n' Roll confederation board has decided to cancel all official WRRC competitions until the end of 2o2o. The Corona situation is way too unpredictable and too dangerous to hold competitions this year, president Miriam Kerpan Izak reports. Online competitions will be held instead starting with the beginning of October.
With restrictions in several countries rising again, and since CoVid-19 mostly spreads through droplets and aerosols every competition might easily become a super-spreading event. And since it is additionally unpredictable for the organizers who will (be able to) come to the competion, the WRRC has heavy-heartedly decided to cancel all WRRC competitions until the end of december. This decision does not preclude national and international competitions to be hosted, but with each country's head associations in responsibility.
In an attempt to keep the motivation high, the WRRC will hold official remote online competitions starting in October, probably following the Ukrainian example, being the host of two such competitions in May and June this year. More information will be made available mid-september.
