'Rescheduled For August In Hopes Of Unrestricted Travel At That Time'·
Even drone racing is getting the cold shoulder from the global pandemic.
Our good friends at MultiGP have been monitoring the effect of Covid-19 has been having on events, gatherings and travel restrictions and the realities that set for their marquee event, the International Open.
They noted that, "As we remain during a time of universal uncertainty, no matter the current outlook, we firmly believe that the experience that we have delivered since 2017 could not be matched should we attempt to maintain our current scheduled date. The safety and health of our pilots, volunteers, staff and their families is a matter we take very seriously. In addition, a vast majority of attendees travel from out-of-state, with many even from out-of-country, we have made the decision to postpone until August in hopes of unrestricted travel at that time."
The new scheduled date for the 2020 MultiGP International Open will be August 12-16th, 2020 and will remain at the Academy of Model Aeronautics in Muncie, Indiana, USA.
Taking a proactive stance on whatever Social Distancing protocols may or may not entail during that time, they have undertaken additional planning for meeting or exceeding the safety and well-being requirements for a participant-based event such as the International Open.
For those already holding tickets, they will automatically be valid for the new date and the current ticket pricing will remain the same. Those that will be unable to attend the 2020 MultiGP International Open August 12-16th, 2020 that have already purchased tickets may email support@multigp.com to exchange for 125% credit from the ticket purchase towards a future purchase in the MultiGP Store or to request a refund.
