Pirkei Avos this year in KAYJ

In KAYJ we started on the second Shabbos, and didn't say anything on Shabbos Shmini (as the Luach brings), but this caused a discussion in the Kehilloh, since most paces in EY did start on that Shabbos the first Perek. Usually we learn one Perek before Shovuos, and then after Shovuos we learn 2 Prokim as a Chizzuk after Shovuos, and this way we learn it 3 times. And if we would start on that Shabbos, we would have a problem with the Shabbos before Shovuos, and if we would start Perek Aleph again, we would have a problem with the Shabbossos after. So this may give a reasoning for what we did. But as I said, this caused a serious discussion, and in two years from now, when the issue comes up again, I am not sure we will be doing the same.
