When PGF first started, I read a bunch about why PGF was formed. Among many reasons for PGF was one issue about the duration of the ASA/USA Nats Tournament. It forced teams to arrive on a Saturday/early Sunday to be there for a Sunday check-in. Then there were two pool games played between Monday and Wednesday (with one day off). Teams that went deep had to be away longer and pay more for hotels, cars, food, etc. Now PGF for 2015 Nationals 16U shows the tournament from 08-01-2015 -> 08-08-2015.
When did this happen and why? It seems like PGF must have decided that the duration of ASA/USA Nats is not such a big deal.
