I wouldn't assert that I don't have any knowledge of the situation at hand here, just because I am complaining about something. That's awfully condescending.
RPI's ECAV facility is not in use either the beginning or the end of spring break, and the regional has been held on both weekends in different years without problems in either case. I am less familiar with RIT's arena, though I believe the same is true there. But it doesn't matter - RPI's is free both weekends, so if the powers that be wanted to, they could have had RPI on deck for the "other" weekend of spring break that RIT didn't want.
The only way the conflict is completely unavoidable, is if the Hudson Valley regional absolutely had to be a single weekend, and that weekend didn't work for either RPI or RIT to share with. But I don't' even think that regional's date is decided yet.
Completely invented was probably too strong of a phrase for this, though. Sorry about that, it's just frustrating.
