RP44,
Don't assume that either group knew anything about the other group's decisions in time to renegotiate with the host venues, or that these colliding schedules had anything to do with a sense of competition between the two programs.
I believe that it is far more likely that bad luck, and a lack of attempting to coordinate schedules is what happened; not any purposeful, competitive action.
Let's figure out how make the best of it (got any ideas?); and when asked for feedback, let everyone involved know that we wish things had worked out differently for 2010.
