We see that every location is used each week except for San Diego skipping the third weekend. And we see events are much more compressed with four to seven events each weekend. In 2023, there were just two to four most weekends.
This means that some players that would go to multiple Nationals will have a lot harder time doing it this year. Someone can still go to 18 & Over and 40 & Over at the same level as there is no overlap there (but they are nearly all consecutive weekends), but the schedule for Mixed makes it nearly impossible for someone to go at two levels in the same age division. For example, in 2023, if you were a 4.0, you could have played 7.0 and 8.0 Mixed at either 18 & Over or 40 & Over as they were on different weekends. That is no longer possible.

The main 18 & Over and 40 & Over Adult divisions are typically first and that remains the case, but are compressed down into nearly just two weekends (18 & Over 4.5 oddly is now the last weekend) instead of the typical four to five weekends.
Why was this done? I’m not sure, but can guess the following contributed:
- USTA staff having to cover seven consecutive weekends of Nationals is a lot.
- Surprise was used for six consecutive weekends last year and may have wanted a reduced commitment.
- The USTA may have wanted to spread the Nationals experience around by reducing the ability for the same players to go to many events.
- The USTA wanted Orlando used every weekend of Nationals and it is hard to do so early in October with the chance of hurricanes.
- The USTA wanted to make it harder on me to get all my simulations and predictions done each weekend (just kidding).

Seriously, this will make it harder to follow along with many more events going on simultaneously. I certainly will be busier if I try to pull of previews, simulations, and updates for all the events.
What do you think of this change? Were Nationals too drawn out before and getting it all done in four weeks is better? Or did you prefer the prior schedule?
