Well we can't assume that Easter is the reason for FIRSTs scheduling choice. Of course it would be ideal to avoid major religious holiday's, but that has not always been the case with the Championship. As I remember, the championship in Houston coincided with Easter weekend. I was able to get home on Sunday mid-day to celebrate with my family but I was away for other Catholic holy days. I think if this does avoid scheduling issues with AP tests and increases the chance of the event falling on a school's spring break, then it definitely a good move, even if some will have to make the choice for themselves whether they need to be home for religious reasons. I think a team Seder sounds like a nice way to celebrate Passover!
