In which we point out some changes in the 2020-21 schedule

Assuming that we’re all back on track come September, there will be a couple of changes to the regional calendar. 

First of all, Byram Hills is probably moving to Columbus Day weekend. This weekend has opened up because Monticello is passing on their invitational and hosting a grand prix of debate and speech under the auspices of the NYCFL on November 7, which, coincidentally, used to be the old MHL Monticello weekend. Plus ca change, eh? 

The biggest craziness is in the New Year. The way it looks now is this:
1/8-9 Newark
1/9 Chaminade

1/16-18 Bigle X

1/23 Baby Bump at Hen Hud

Weekend of 1/29: Columbia, Emory, Ridge
Essentially this jamboree is happening this weekend rather than as usual because the Emory folk, who historically pay no attention to anything other than themselves, have been hitting the wacky weed again, and wreaking whatever havoc they can as a result. 

2/5-6 Pennsbury
2/6 Bronx Winter Local, AKA the Re Ducks

2/13 Harvard

Presumably Penn will revert back to Harvard weekend, or at least that was our recommendation to them, since their attendance was equal on that weekend to what it was the earlier weekend, which would now conflict with Pennsbury. Given that the Pennsbury tab room = the Penn tab room, and high schools always take precedence, I would expect this to be a no-brainer on the parts of the Ben Franklinites. 

I could easily see Ridge moving off 1/29 to 1/23, which would mean we’d have to bump Bump, probably to 2/13. 

The rest of the season is where you would expect it to be. 

Let's just hope we do have a season.
