Due to the outgoing Coronavirus outbreak, we should recommend that the tournament is delayed or pushed to next year; instead of just saying following CDC guidelines. If the tournament is going, the city of Augusta, GA needs to layout a clear disaster continuity plan. Why this matters?

Due to the ongoing cancellations, this is costing everyone money in the end. Houses for rent, restaurants, insurance companies, hotels, and etc.

Travelers from all over the world will travel through Atlanta and stops through Augusta. Various citizens throughout various states will continue to cross contaminant the Coronavirus throughout the CSRA.

A target population of a certain age is most likely at this event.

Money should not be the primary reason the tournament is ongoing. If they object, they need to have a clear plan instead of waiting to the 2nd last day to cancel. This should instilled within every business by publishing a risk matrix. Mitigation measures should be clearly outlined and instead of last minute reactive decisions.

We call on the organizations to ensure the further safety of our citizens over profit. Companies sponsoring this event are just as responsible as stakeholders within this event.
