Bayerischer Löwe 2020 -- Cancelled

The Bayerischer Löwe Preisplatteln scheduled for Diessen on June 6, 2020, has officially been cancelled as a result of health concerns and resulting mandates from the Bavarian state government.  No alternate dates are being planned for the fall given the uncertainty of the virus situation.  Huosigau is considering later alternatives to have a make-up Preisplatteln, and no host for the 2021 Bayerischer Löwe has been identified yet.  The status of this year’s eligible competitors is being discussed, with the possibility of allowing them to compete in 2021 alongside those that become eligible in 2021.  I have asked the group to agree on allowing Gauverband Nordamerika to compete in 2021, in what would normally be our off-year.  Our 2021 Gaupreisplatteln winners would then compete at the 2022 Bayerischer Löwe as has been our practice.  I am hoping for a positive response and will provide an update as soon as this information is available.
