The BBC is talking about returning to activity at the end of July, but there seem to be quite a few problems to solve before Disney City's "bubble city" becomes a reality • from the need for a daily check to Corona, through risk-averse coaches, to the gaming system issue (returning only to the playoffs) ?)

After ten weeks without NBC, the best league in the world is already beginning to formulate a return strategy to the pitches when the idea of ​​creating a "bubble city" and getting all the players and team members there seems to be rising. Yesterday, the league's spokesman announced that the BBC, along with the players' organization, are in advanced talks with the Walt Disney Company with the goal of ending the season at the World Disney Complex in Orlando, Florida, as late as July. 

But with this idea of ​​playing at Disney Wallard sounding utopian and fairytale, there are a number of problems that the best league in the world will need to provide a logistical solution. Ramona Shelburne (ESPN) has tried to sort out the challenges that are expected for the league.

Corona testing. It is a common opinion among league leaders that testing is key to returning to the games. But it must be a quick test to decipher, reliable enough, and of course there will be enough tests. The league estimates they need at least 15,000 checks, which could hurt the public image of the BBC. 

"I definitely think it would be very troublesome for a lot of people to have a huge amount of testing available to NBC players while others who are at risk are having a hard time getting a test themselves," said Dr. Vivek Moretti, who advises the league on dealing with the corona virus.

Risk Group Coaches . The league will need to provide answers about coaches defined by the U.S. Department of Health in a corona disease risk group. Greg Popovich, a 71-year-old San Antonio coach, while a 68-year-old Mike D'Antoni, would the BBC authorize them to get a job unlike other peers?

The method of gaming. The world's best league was halted on March 11 with no fewer than 259 games remaining until the end of the regular season and then 4 more playoff rounds, so teams that would go far would have to stay in the bubble for three months. At the same time, it is unclear whether the players will ever be able to return to proper playing ability and be physically ready for the intensity of so many games in a short time.

In a scenario where they play 8 games a day - on two different pitches like in the summer league - the regular season can end in 33 days (almost no back-to-back games). Then another 4 playoff rounds with a minimum rest should reach a maximum of 55 days. 

Another alternative that has come up to shorten the schedule and the amount of people that need to get in and out of the bubble is to start the season directly from the playoffs based on the East and West placings before the league break. 16 teams instead of 30 reduces almost half the amount of people who need to get to the bubble, and also the time for players to be isolated from the outside world and their families.

Who enters the bubble? Well, the BBC is trying to find the formula that will minimize the number of people, but still allow for proper activity in the best league in the world. But this is no simple task. Beyond the players and the team, the best league in the world estimates that 1,500 more people will enter the bubble and are necessary for the resumption of the season. These are administrative staff of the teams and the league itself, judges, TV staff, hotel employees and more. 

Teams may also be forced to reduce their delegations to only 28 people: 15 players, head coach, three assistants, three other staff members (fitness coach, physical therapist), equipment manager, group logistics manager, one management representative, spokesperson and security guard.
