K8MR most brilliantly suggested:
>why not schedule a "bonus" sprint in those months
>when Saturday is the last day of the month?
Brilliant, Jim, simply brilliant. Those Saturdays would have a high
likelihood of being contest-conflict-free. A quick look at my computer
calendar shows these occurrences of this condition:
2004 - 2
2005 - 2
2006 - 1
2007 - 2
2008 - 1
2009 - 3
Notably in 2009 it occurs in January and then as you would expect in
February, too.
I also think weeknights should not be removed from the conversation,
especially if the discussion moves toward 2 or 3 hour long events.
