Even in league games following January 18th next year, it will be possible to support vocally at the discretion of the club
The B League held an online press conference today to explain “Dot Estée B.LEAGUE ALL-STAR GAME 2023 IN MITO” and the revisions regarding the handling of loud voices in league matches.
Until now, from the perspective of preventing the spread of COVID-19, the B League has banned loud cheering, finger whistles, high fives with others, and physical contact with shoulders. However, in accordance with the government’s policy, we have defined the definition of vocal support, and in cooperation with the Sports Agency, announced that we will lift the ban on vocal support from “Dot Estie B.LEAGUE ALL-STAR GAME 2023 IN MITO”.
Support that is possible from “Dot Esty B.LEAGUE ALL-STAR GAME 2023 IN MITO”
・ Repeatedly and continuously speak at a volume that allows you to have a conversation with the person next to you.
・Things that can be regarded as “temporary cheers” (temporary loud shouts such as player names, signature lines, countdowns and boos)
– Temporarily loud voices emitted in call-and-response by players, cheerleaders, artists, etc. (club lines, etc.)
・ A loud voice that temporarily appeals to yourself in a giveaway project, etc.
Self-restraint for the current situation, support that will be handled as soon as the government policy is revised
・Long chorus, repetition, continuous team cheering, etc. (“Defense! Defense!” etc.)
The B League will conduct a field survey with All-Stars, and will start adopting “Voice Support” at the discretion of the club in league games following January 18th next year. In addition, “loud cheering” at 100% accommodation rate will continue to wait for revision of government policy.
