Thing i see with mixed moving to a different slot to open is about how teams can practice and play together.
Here, almost every team in mixed is made up of either players who play open for various teams, or teams that basically have the same or at least similar line ups in both. There are obviously exceptions to this with players who will only play in mixed, but i am taking this as a whole. There are not really specific mixed tour teams only, in this sense. So in that case, with the overlapping structure as it is, why would teams play and practice just as a mixed team when many of their players play on open teams elsewhere. This is particularly apparent at the top of the mixed tour, where many of the players who played in the top 4 teams at mixed would not play at EUCC in the mixed division, rather playing open or womens. If the mixed tour was moved away from open dates, there would be more of an incentive for teams that want to concentrate on playing mixed and getting teams to qualify for EUCC to train together away from the open tour, developing their games at mixed and maybe even persuading people to take mixed ahead of open. Given that thought, i don't think it really matters if mixed was before or after open, but i do agree that separation of the dates of each would benefit the game.
