The Dutch Throwdown Finals

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE 29-9-2020

Lieve sporters

Begin van dit jaar hebben we helaas onze finale moeten verplaatsen. Deze zomer leek alles beter te worden en zag het er naar uit dat ons toernooi in oktober kon plaatsvinden. De ontwikkelingen van de afgelopen weken laten zien dat het Corona-virus helaas weer oplaait.

Inmiddels zitten we in de ‘’tweede golf’’. Gisteren is een nieuw pakket met maatregelen aangekondigd door het kabinet met als belangrijkste doel om zo min mogelijk met anderen in contact te komen. Een toernooi met meer dan duizend deelnemers, toeschouwers en betrokkenen uit heel Europa is helaas niet verantwoord om te organiseren gezien de huidige situatie. In een tijdperk waarin het risico op besmetting toeneemt willen wij onze verantwoordelijkheid nemen. In overleg met de Gemeente, box-eigenaren, sponsoren en andere partijen hebben wij besloten om The Dutch Throwdown dit weekend te annuleren. 

De komende week zullen wij in beraad gaan om te bekijken hoe wij omgaan met deze situatie. We hopen op uw begrip voor deze keuze en situatie. Zodra er nieuwe ontwikkelingen zijn, laten we het jullie weten. 

Stay safe, en we hopen jullie snel te zien

Dear athletes,

At the beginning of this year, we had to make the hard decision to postpone the finals of The Dutch Throwdown. This summer, everything seemed to be getting better and it seemed like our tournameld could take place in October. Unfortunately the developments of the past weeks show us that the Corona-virus is flaring up again. 

We are now in the ‘’second wave’’. Yesterday, the Dutch government announced new measures with the main aim of minimizing contact with others. A tournament with more than a thousand participants, spectators and stakeholders from all over Europe is not justified to organize given the current situation. We want to take our responsibility in an era where the risk of contamination is increasing. After talking with the municipality, box owners, sponsors and other parties, we have decided to cancel The Dutch Throwdown this weekend. 

Next week, we will take a look at how to deal with this situation. We hope for your understanding of this choice and situation. As soon as there are new developments, we will let you know. 

Stay safe, and we hope to see you soon.
