kickoff...
as the calendar changes each year, New Years Day falls on a Thursday in 2004 - too close to the first weekend. When Jan 1st falls on the first weekend in Jan, the kickoff is moved to the second weekend.
the main reasons are: - most remote kickoff sites (especially Universities) would not be open the days before a Jan 3rd kickoff to accept delivery of the kits. (which arrive on the Thur and/or Friday before the kickoff). This makes a Jan 3rd kickoff very difficult if not impossible. - many people are still on family vacations or travelling on Jan 1st and 2nd, so FIRST tries to take that into account - plus Jan 2 travel conflicts for those kickoffs in Manchester, and some remotes, who hold Friday workshops would make those difficult.
