Because that's when they wanted to schedule it. I would have to guess that it's delayed a little bit to get the new team up to date on running one of the largest Melee tournament series in the world, but I have no proof to support this theory. For all I know, they could have just wanted to go back to the series' roots and schedule it mid-year.

A better question is why they scheduled it so close to CEO. Now both tournaments will likely have lower attendance.

And it's so close to EVO too. Winter might be better than Summer for the series, but now Genesis might become an annual series
