While the holiday issue is a valid one, FIRST can not control the calendar. Easter happened to fall into March this year.

Luckily, FIRST is finally to a stage where "most" of the country has more than one regional they can choose to attend - so any team which may have a conflict with one weekend can choose to go to a different event.

Teams have already said they don't want the season extending into May for various reasons (AP tests, end of school year, etc...) and the season can not be moved up any sooner (Xmas, New years, etc...)

I actually know of a few teams who are happy they can choose a regional Easter week because they will lose less school time. The same situation can be effect everyone differently. A few years ago I would have agreed this was a big issue - but with FIRST providing 17 Regionals for teams to choose from, I think it works for all.
