"This rule on forfeits applies only to cancellations due to an outbreak among non-vaccinated players and/or staff. In the same memo, the league explains that it, “if a club cannot play due to a Covid spike in vaccinated individuals, we will attempt to minimize the competitive and economic burden on both participating teams.” In other words, there won’t be a forfeit if a game is scrapped due to vaccinated players testing positive."
I guess its a crap shoot then, considering that a lot of vaccinated people are still getting covid, and I read on NYT that officials from Israel are reporting that a lot of people who have had the pfizer vaccine are getting Covid Delta, making it look at this point like the pfizer vaccine isnt very effective against the new strain. So do they punish players who had the pfizer vaccine if it turns out its not very effective against Covid Delta? Or are those players/teams safe from punishment?
It just seems like there are still too many unknowns to start making rules and punishments over this whole thing. And we are still talking about a virus that has a higher survival rate % than the vaccine effectiveness % at this point in time.
