JAKARTA - The 2020 Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) competition is being closed due to the COVID-19 event. Reportedly, the manager wants the competition to be continued.

The bright spots on this issue have already been seen when the government prepares a new normality policy. With this policy, all activities can be carried out as long as they apply strict health protocols.

The plan, IBL will be continued in September. The organizers have also prepared a health protocol that will regulate the players before, during and after training.

There are several schemes that will be implemented by IBL if the competition continues in September. First, IBL will immediately play the play-offs.

This round of play-offs will most likely take place at some point. DKI Jakarta is an ideal place if this format is properly implemented by the manager. This proposal was put forward by one of the IBL clubs, Amartha Hangtuah.

Another scheme is to hold matches without spectators. This scheme can be a dilemma for IBL operators and clubs. The reason is, this is related to sponsorship and club income.

IBL operators and all clubs are planning to return to virtual meetings to discuss the continuation of the fate of the competition. Previously, the IBL and the club had held two virtual meetings in the middle of the COVID-19 outbreak.
