@canefan Can't see things opening up internationally in the immediate future, so I think an NZ Mini-Series is the answer.
Only possible until a player tests positive. Then hwo do you continue it?
This looks like it's going to have some real legs I fear
If all sports are going to be canned - we'll have to start National Service weekends, where everyone gets out and picks up rubbish, etc.
Otherwise what is the populace going to do at weekends? Hang around in shopping malls?
Waiting until the Malls fill up with Meanderthals and locking the doors could be a good idea
Good word. You get an upvote.

@booboo There were three, but there's only one that you want to remember. Maybe.
Not sure any if them are worth remembering.

A question: If the NZ comp does go ahead, and that's still a big IF, do we go back to the amateur days of teams travelling by bus? I'm not sure moving sports teams around the country by plane is considered essential travel.
... or charter a plane to transport 45 people. Hell, buy a plane and fly teams aroudn, disinfecting between times
Something liek this perhaps (56 seat capacity)

@Bovidae yep.
The internet provides so much useful information in life.
The bombardier Q300 costs aroudn $USD1500/hour to operate. Costs $17M new. So a weekend of charters (top of my head), transporting two teams away and back would cost about $10k or so (say 6 hours of flying time).
Seems very reasonable; about $100 per person total.
Bombardier Q300 - Price, Specs, Photo Gallery, History - Aero Corner
The Dash 8 was an incredibly popular aircraft that was sold many times and finally underwent major changes to make it much more reliable, environmentally friendly, and quieter for passengers. The Q300 is still available today, and is a powerful aircraft for shorter flights.
