Telecompeting

With the Coronavirus / COVID-19 spreading (Second case confirmed in Sonoma County, and The Healdsburg School (a private school) has canceled classes), large public gatherings are starting to cancel (Game Developer's Conference is canceled/postponed), here's a modest proposal: A plan to save the Tokyo Olympics, including telecompeting!

Individual competitors could simply perform their portion of each event at home — in between trips to the fridge, while watching Love Is Blind on a second screen — and submit those event for comparison, as long as the VPN works and the kids take a nap.

I promise it’ll be every bit as effective as when I work from home!
