New 10th Region Tournament Format Approved

Principals of the schools in the 10th Region unanimously approved a new format for the Girls and Boys 10th Region Tournaments. Here's the schedule:

Monday, March 5, Girls first round games at Montgomery County
Tuesday, March 6, Girls first round games at Montgomery County
Wednesday, March 7, Boys first round games at Mason County
Thursday, March 8, Boys first round games at Mason County
Friday, March 9, Girls semi-final rounds at Montgomery County
Saturday, March 10, Boys semi-final rounds at Mason County, 12:00 and 3:30 p.m.
Saturday, March 10, Girls finals at Montgomery County 8:00 p.m.
Sunday March 11, Boys finals at Mason County 3:00 p.m.

The only problem I see with the new format is going up against the Southeastern Conference Tournament. The SEC semi-finals are scheduled at 1 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, March 10. The championship game of the SEC tournament tips-off at 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 11. Fans in Maysville, much less folks from throughout the region, won't be able watch the end of the SEC game and make it to The Fieldhouse for the start of championship game of the Boys regional tournament. How would a Kentucky vs. Tennessee game on TV affect attendance at the regional tournament?
