If the whole reason for playing again was the availability of rapid testing then why do they need to shut down a team over 4 or 5 cases?

Yeah - I saw that too. A 5% positivity rate shuts a team down for seven days. Any player that test positive can't play in a game for twenty-one days - unless the test falls perfectly, that'll be four games.

They won't complete the season. Their protocol ensures it. This is all a CYA thing by the Presidents to say "We tried" and shut up the coaches, players, and parents.
