## Controversies

### Delay of Games

The first group E games were originally going to be played on September 11th but the organizing committee chose to delay the games to the 12th because of the 15th anniversary of remembering Flight 93 that crash landed in modern day Shanksville, Schykille as well as the rest of the September 11th Attacks
