Covid-19 Updates
The corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to influence society and consequently most PCU Committee events. As your health and well-being are our top priority, we are monitoring the situation permanently. On this page the PCU Committee will update you about all developments related to PCU Committee events for the duration of the pandemic.
BRIDGE TROPHY
Last update – Thursday 13 August 2020
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the PCU Bridge Trophy has been postponed from its original date of 17-19 April 2020 to 6-8 November 2020. A next update is programmed at the beginning of September 2020.
PCU GAMES
Last update – Wednesday 1 July 2020
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PCU Committee regrets to announce the cancellation of the 2020 PCU Games (on venue), but a valuable online alternative will be ensured in October 2020, PCUGAMES@HOME. Details about the PCUGAMES@HOME are announced by the start of September 2020. The PCU Committee made its decision to cancel the PCU Games (on venue) based upon the following reasons:
- Impossibility of organizing Basketball, Futsal and Volleyball Games while keeping “physical distance”.
- Uncertainty about the possibility of a “second wave” or new outbreaks of the virus, possibly causing new restrictions locally and internationally.
- Financial uncertainty for participants purchasing travel tickets and accommodation.
- Uncertainty about the possibility of organizing “big” indoor sporting events in Belgium in October.
- Uncertainty about the possibility of organizing social “side events”, like visits of tourist attractions, parties, …
- Uncertainty about financial situation in many countries (and possible funding of their participation).
All the factors above will result in a lesser number of teams participating, leading to a lesser experience for those teams who would attend. In addition, 2 editions being held in a 6 months interval in the same academic year, would also impact the number of teams participating in the 2021 edition.
YERUN SPORT DAYS
Last update – Wednesday 1 July 2020
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PCU Committee regrets to announce the cancellation of the 2020 Yerun Sport Days (on venue), but a valuable online alternative will be ensured in October 2020 with a YERUN SPORT DAYS WEBINAR. Details about the YERUN SPORT DAYS WEBINAR are announced by the start of September 2020.
