Elgin you beat me to the punch on that one.
FIRST didn't really make any big schedule changes from the last to seasons to end up having these holiday's occur during the competitions. They have the competitionthe same time every year it was bound to happen so if it's really an issue schedule around it for your team. There will always be some kind of conflicts to schedule around and appeasing everyone just won't happen.
On that note they could be more considerate on asking the food vendors to be considerate of religious issues. As a catholic I hope they actually provide some adequete vegitarian meals at competitions that occur during lent. Also for myself and my fellow Irish for St. Patrick's day they could, nevermind.
