Next year's calendar starts out fine, and then goes into Cloud Cuckoo Land once the calendar turns 2013. MLK weekend is late, and that's Lexington weekend. There's the usual number of weekends in the month, but the first one is rather orphaned by having only a couple of days preceding it, meaning that Emory is the weekend following Lexington, then Newark, then Scarsdale. In all of this, there must by a Columbia; I'm suggesting that it fall on the Emory weekend, as it's done in the past, with no harm done to either event. It could conceivably move to the weekend before Lex, but I don't like that for a number of reasons, mostly because it's hard to get much of a tournament going that early after the holidays.
We'll see. After that, things fall out normally enough. It does seem that every year there's one month that goes awry. Next season, January is that month.
(I point this out because some yabbo is trying to put together a tournament calendar, and he sent out an email to the usual suspects, and virtually all of them have responded to all, rather than to him. Honestly, I'm glad they have, or I never would have realized that Lex was as late as it is.)

A Columbia/Emory conflict is much preferred over the other scenario.
