In New England, as long as events are primarily being held in high schools, the trend is going to be Fri-Sun events.

The only reason RIDE, which is returning to Bryant University, is not Thu-Sat is because the president of Bryant got complaints from the faculty about having to walk a further distance from their cars during the event. Nothing to do with policies, event conflicts, etc.

Providence Career and Tech high school, who hosted RIDE last season, would not let us into the gym early Thursday due to gym classes running during school hours. We only got Thu - Sat because the school was closed for Good Friday.

Regarding DCMP, I am a huge fan of the Week 6 DCMP as it gives WCMP qualifying teams a better chance of using their invite. That 11 day turnaround from DCMP to WCMP was tight.
