The board of directors of the Winner League League Administration meets at this time to approve the return of the 2019/20 season to activity after the break forced by the Corona crisis. Most of the board members came to the conference room at the Hilton Hotel in Tel Aviv and some participants through the zoom.

Right now, a small majority is heading for the league's return. During the discussion, some of the attendees raised many reservations and questions, such as the issue of going down, the difficulties of returning foreigners, the issue of naturalization, the high financial costs and many other technical and logistical problems surrounding the decision to return the league.

If the return decision is indeed made, all players and coaches will have to go into isolation in about a week and at 1.6 they will all return to three weeks of training during which they will have to stay in isolation all the time outside of training. The goal is to come back and play before the end of June to finish the league by 31.7.

The format of the games will be: The remaining game to end the second round. The teams will then be split into a top house and a home base that will be played in one round, followed by a playoff quarterfinals of the best of 3 and then the Final Four.
