Is Florida boycotting 2017 USTA League 18 & over 3.5 Men's Nationals being in Arizona?

I just wrote that the flights for 18 & over Nationals are on TennisLink, and in something of a surprise, Florida appears to not be sending a team for the 3.5 men!  And the last two years Florida won their flight and played in the semis, so that is typically a pretty good team that won't be there.

I wrote yesterday that Hawaii was seemingly not going to several Nationals, and for them the move of most Nationals to Florida/Alabama makes for a really long trip, so it is understandable.  But now Florida is not going to 3.5 Men's Nationals which is the level most commonly played so most surprising to see a missing team.

Looking at the team that won Florida Sectionals, they had a roster of 14, although one was DQ'd at Sectionals, and 13 should be more than enough to go to Nationals.  But, quite a few didn't play at Sectionals even though they were eligible.  But, perhaps they didn't have enough to go.

Or more likely, since the team that won is from an area hit pretty hard by Irma (Tampa / St. Pete), their situation could have changed and going to Nationals just isn't a priority which is fully understandable.

If that is the case though, what is surprising is that the runner up from Sectionals isn't there in their place.  I don't know if that wasn't considered or they declined too.  The runner up plays out of the eastern side of the state which was not hit nearly as hard by Irma.

But given that I believe the section could have elected to send another team, are they boycotting that the 18 & over 3.5 level is still being played in Arizona rather than Florida?  A trip to Arizona would be no different than prior years, and in fact is a bit shorter for Floridians than a trip to Palm Springs, so that doesn't seem like a good reason, but you never know.

Regardless, the section that had a team in the semis the last two years is not going to be represented apparently.
