Another idea would be to piggy back off of the US 9 ball Open scheduling by having the AC event the first week of Oct. This would give an incentive for top players worldwide to play the pro event, then continue onto the US Open in Chesapeake.
Early Oct also doesnt clash with any other "amateur nationals" event that I know of.
