first, he did not play, and then he warned that he is presented

The government reminded the FUBB on Monday that clubs must respect quarantines and will not be able to play during the isolation period.

In the case of Nacional, the campus is isolated until Friday. Only after swabs and negative results will they be able to compete again.

Trouville has an isolated player, and Urunday Universitario two.

Why did the FUBB keep the fixation?

In this scenario, why did the FUBB keep fixing the parties? The president of the Federation, Ricardo Vairo, explained to Referee that basketball signed an agreement with the Tenfield company, from which it provided financial support, to finish the Metropolitano (which ended on date, with the consecration of Urupán de Pando), finish the 2019-2020 League this year and start the 25 January 2020-2021 League with a shorter format.

They agreed to play a League 2021 reduced to four months, from January 25 to June. The original format is eight months (October-May).

This agreement was signed between the FUBB and the company that has the TV rights after all the clubs voted on the dates.

Vairo explained to Referee that this calendar with all the details was unanimously approved by the clubs and by the players’ union.

“It was not voted that before a certain number of positive cases of covid-19 a team could lose the match or that the match be suspended, for that reason we cannot suspend the match and give it to Aguada (in the semifinal of this Tuesday against Nacional), and we also have to respect what the clubs voted to finish the 2020 season before December 31, “he said.

Asked why they do not suspend the activity and delay the League 2021, he said: “Common sense tells me that I must apply myself to the regulations, which is the best way to walk through my role. The regulation was made by them (the clubs) ”.

The four semi-finalist clubs were consulted by the FUBB about the possibility of postponing the matches scheduled for this Tuesday and they did not agree.

On the other hand, delaying the league beyond 2020 implies for clubs to pay one more month of contracts and there is the possibility that they will have to postpone the league that is due to start on January 25.

Is Aguada-Nacional played?

The match is fixed, Vairo explained. “Whether it is played or not is another story,” he added.

By provision of the Ministry of Public Health, National’s covid-19 positives cannot play. Players who are isolated must wait until Friday, when they will be swabbed and if they give negative results they will be allowed to compete.

For their part, the Aguada players are isolated until the 17th hour of this Tuesday, when the results of the swabs they performed will be known. The positive cases will not play, and the negative ones will be able to act this Tuesday night.

Marches and countermarches of Nacional

Surprisingly this Tuesday afternoon, Nacional communicated to the FUBB by mail, with a copy to Aguada, that he would not finally appear to play the second semifinal. With that decision, the victory corresponded to Aguada and the five-game series was 1-1.

This was communicated by the Federation at 2:39 p.m.

More than two hours later, at 5:16 pm, the same Federation through the League’s Twitter account reported that Nacional changed its position and presented “the best squad available to face the match scheduled for today.”

The case of Urunday Universitario

For his part, Urunday was waiting for the swabs that were made to the two players who are isolated. Both cases were positive so he can play with the entire squad tonight’s game.

Nacional defeat Aguada 1-0 and Urunday-Trouville equal 1-1 the playoffs semifinals that are resolved to the best of 5 games.

The League finals, which will be played in seven games, must begin on December 10, ending on the last day of this year.
