JR -

We have bank holidays here in the states too. They're the days the major financial markets (Wall Street) are closed, so many businesses close on these days too. For the most part, bank holidays coincide with the major national holidays, like Christmas and New Years.

Every major economic country has bank holidays of some kind. Most western countries have similar bank holidays. Some started out as religious days and have just become traditional, such as Good Friday and Christmas. Others are more nation-specific. For example, the 4th of July is an American holiday and Bastille Day is a French holiday, but neither is celebrated in Great Britain.

Just think about it you need 4 days of holiday/time off work to play a millenium event. Thats one day to fly in and walk the fields two days to play and a fourth should you make the finals. So if you hit a holiday period that already has a 4 day break in it why not use it, as everybody is going to be off work as it is?
Its not rocket science really.

So what... you need friday off either way so who cares if it's a holiday or not. I think you fail to consider any cultural differences that are clouding the issue so "just think about it" doesn't get the point across. I was simply asking if there is something different about easter in Europe that I was not aware of. I never heard of moving a tournament back a day, yet another reason I asked.

i think he's trying to say instead of taking a day off work - they can use the bank holidays to get round it and so not lose out on pay? if it was finishing on a sunday then they would lose at least a days pay :confused:

it makes sense to do it over a weekend where the entire of europe is off....

what the hell are you lot arguing about. Shut up children.

sheeeeesh!

Anyways Dynasty won, and I watched it all. There was no-one there who looked even close to Dynasty's skills. They took apart Avalanche, and I don't think they were even sweating.

I was unaware that all of europe had both friday and monday off as bank holidays. My apologies. Here in the US I had the luxury of having Friday off but most of my friends did not receive any vacation around this past weekend.
