The National Convention had to lock up their plans for the next year up to 2 years ahead. Cooperstown would not make their decision until earlier in that same year.

There was no way for the folks running the National to know when the HOF ceremony was when they reserved the room.

So, don't blame the National Promoters for this as their hands were tied. When the HOF finally realized they should announce dates in advance, no one was happier than the promoters of the National.

Trust me, they never wanted a conflict with the induction ceremonies
