In a released memorandum, the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) unveiled their new tournament named the, “We are also back, the NPSL is back” Tournament.

“The National Premier Soccer League is proud to announce the We Are Also Back, The NPSL Is Back tournament to be held at the Howard Johnson Holidome in Lima, Oh off of I-75 and next to the Cracker Barrel,” stated the press release. “In some locations we are back and able to train, but in other locations we are still not able to train. By consolidating all the teams that still exist in one location we can guarantee that they can train and play meaningful games.”

The memorandum indicates that the NPSL tournament will be held at the Howard Johnson in Lima, a former Holiday Inn Holidome location.

“Our athletes and staff will be sequestered entirely within the world of the Howard Johnson,” stated the NPSL release. “We will be turning this former Holidome into a Biodome where players and their families can relax and frolic without ever being let outside. Any inside/outside connections will be bricked over to keep out pesky germs and all of our staff will be kept safe (and inside) from COVID-19 by armed guard.”

Sources indicate that the NPSL staff were not particularly thrilled about this but there was an attempt to negotiate discounted mini-golf fees to alleviate the forced imprisonment at the Howard Johnson.

“We are excited to be back as the We Are Also Back, The NPSL Is Back Tournament kicks off in July,” stated the press release. “Spread it loud for all to hear! We Are Also Back, The NPSL Is Back Tournament.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the NPSL also issues a press release after the tournament starts that announces the, “Did You Forget About Our Tournament Tournament.”
