No Ship Day?

This was mentioned to me at dinner tonight, and as after the requisite five minutes of shipping nothing had turned up, I thought that she just might have stumbled across something interesting...

There's no official ship or bag and tag date on the official FIRST calendar. All of the award deadlines are on there, and most of the regional dates. Could it be that there will be no ship date and an open build season? Given that the traditional ship date is always the seventh Tuesday after kickoff, and kickoff appears to be scheduled, shouldn't we seriously consider Manchester considering a non-conventional length or open build season? Wouldn't they normally just put bag and tag day on the calendar?

On the other hand, it could be that I'm missing something huge, or that FIRST doesn't usually post bag and tag day.
