In recent days we have told the story of the store that with a trick has circumvented the prohibitions of the Dpcm November 3 in Rome and the ridicule of those who wrote “I’m going to get an ice cream from Cesare” to take a walk along the seafront of Reggio Calabria. . Today the morning in an article by Gianluca Agata he says that thanks to a “gap” in the regulation, tennis players, golfers and even ordinary citizens can find a way to circumvent the prohibitions. How? Thank you card.
“I will explain how to get around the Dpcm bans (even in the red zones)”
Let’s go in order. The Dpcm demands the closure of tennis clubs in which basic sporting activity is not allowed, but in any case it allows sporting activity to athletes in possession of a Federtennis competition card of national relevance. And this, according to the explanation of Riccardo Villari, doctor, politician and teacher, first deputy and then senator until 2018 elected with the Democratic Party, but above all president of the Naples Tennis Club – which closes with the entry into force of the Red zone. in your region from Sunday: allows you to get around the bans. How?
“The competitive card – explains Villari to morning – In addition to being obviously issued to players in the first, second and third categories, it also applies to the fourth unclassified, which is the Sunday tennis player. In addition to allowing you to play tennis, this card allows you to move freely between regions, including the red ones, as long as the player signs up for a tournament. With this in mind, they are hosting tournaments everywhere with an exponential increase in requests for competitive cards from the Italian Tennis Federation (Fit). ”
According to Villari, a new membership would give the possibility of playing regularly when it is not allowed and also traveling in the red zones to get to the place where the tournament in which he is registered takes place. Federtennis specifies on its website that there is a list of expressions of national interest recognized by Coni. And it confirms that “In accordance with the provisions of art. 1 paragraph 9 letter e) of the aforementioned Prime Minister’s Decree (also specified by the Frequently Asked Questions reported on the website of the Ministry of Sport), only sporting events recognized as national interest with a specific provision of the CONI and the training sessions of the athletes who participate in the previous events are always allowed, in accordance with and in the manner provided by the Covid Protocol already issued by the FIT. […] The training sessions (both outdoors and indoors) are allowed only for those who are in possession of a valid AGONIST FIT card and who are REGISTERED in the competitions recognized by CONI “.
But can tennis players and golfers really circumvent the Dpcm bans?
Here, however, a problem arises. Villari affirms that many people are asking for the card to be able to move but he does not give numbers of any kind about the phenomenon. Nor does it appear that the tournament list has been updated by Coni recently. The fourth category competitive card can be requested online, with a procedure whose cost varies between 32 and 45 euros; but a new affiliation can cost up to 350 euros. Is there really anyone who risks spending a similar amount when each entity can lock everything with one click and postpone any ok until the end of the emergency? Finally: it is true that you can move and move but, as the regulations say, only to get to the places where the sporting events that you have to register for are scheduled. You can’t go where you want, also because if the police arrest someone, then they can verify that they are telling the truth. And if you find out that you haven’t, the fines begin.
However, according to Villari, even golf can be a “justification” for circumventing the prohibitions of the Dpcm. A circular from the Italian Golf Federation of November 7, 2020 recalls that with the Dpcm of November 3, “sports competitions recognized as of national interest by CONI and CIP provisions organized by the Federation, by DSA or organized by international sports organizations, without the presence of the public and in compliance with the Protocol and the Guidelines issued by the Federation and / or the organizing body; the training sessions of athletes, professionals and non-professionals, who participate in the competitions to which it refers the previous point as long as they are behind closed doors and in compliance with the Protocol and the Guidelines issued by the Federation “. And here too the objections of the previous paragraph apply: why go through all this process, including re-registration with its costs, to travel only where a golf competition is scheduled?
Last October we explained how it is possible to circumvent the ban on dining out with the collaboration of a hotelier: In fact, the letter of the law establishes that “the activities of catering services (including bars, pubs, restaurants, ice cream parlors , pastry shops) are allowed from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; consumption at the table is allowed for a maximum of four people per table, unless they all live together; after 6:00 p.m. the consumption of food and beverages in public and open places is prohibited for the public”; but it also says that “catering is allowed in hotels and other receptive structures without a time limit, limited to their clients, who stay there.” Therefore, it was enough to reserve a hotel room for that night to take advantage of the hotel’s catering. Perhaps a little expensive ruse since then you will also have to pay for the room (but in this case some clandestine couples or couples looking for adventure could also find advantages). But above all it is dangerous, because there you also have to communicate what is false. The prohibitions, even if they are not literally perfect, it is better to respect them. Because it is not so much about the integrity of the laws, but about health.
