There is no problem with a state deciding to have their QSO party on the
same date as another state. However, to mandate when a group wants to have
their "party" is absurd. Some people want to have the 1-2 call area have one
weekend to themselves, and the 3-4, etc, have their contest weekends so
that over a 5 week period all the state QSO parties are all over. Like
drugs, contesters don't need a CZAR or some holly group to dictate when hams
can have their QSO parties. For example, If some group is dumb enough to
have a state QSO party on the same weekend as ARRL DX, that's their stupid
decision.
