APFT BANGKOK INTERNATIONAL 7S DELAYED FOR 2020

As the situation continues to develop in Asia and around the globe with COVID-19, we have made the decision to delay the 2020 edition of the Bangkok International 7s due to the a number of factors.

The decision was made in large part to ensure player safety and also due to the travel restrictions from other countries on residents, even though at the time of making the decision, Thailand appeared to not have any restrictions in place that would have prevented the event from happening at the local level. Additionally, the venue location was not able to confirm our event due to additional restrictions and unclear directions placed on them directly by the local government.

We had prepared a number of additional safety procedures to maximize the well being of all participants, and prepared an additional back-up plan, but it was in-vein.

As such, we have contacted all 50+ teams that were registered and finalized the options with all of them to delay the event to a tentative date of Sept 12-13. If this date becomes unfeasible, then those teams that selected September will be automatically rolled over to Saigon as a secondary measure. As another option they may decide to roll it over to Bangkok 2021 , or potentially another event in 2021 which we are offering.

We look forward to welcoming teams to our next event and hope that you are staying safe in the interim.

Thank you for your support and participating in our events,
