2018 USTA League Nationals "flight" schedules available, who plays who in the new format

I just wrote about 2018 USTA League Nationals and how the new format might change things with some simulations, and turns out that the "flight" schedules have been published, at least in preliminary format, so we can see who plays who in the new flightless round-robin format.

I'm looking through them to see what I can learn and decipher about how teams are being matched up, but you can take a look for yourself by visiting the USTA's Nationals Schedule page and for each level, there is a "Schedule" link to see who plays who and when.

One observation is that as expected, it appears teams will play two matches each day.  One odd thing is that for 5.0+, two teams will play each other twice which doesn't seem right, but I need to look more closely to see why that is.

Note these are marked are preliminary, so I imagine they could change.

Stay tuned for more!

Update: The 5.0+ appears to have been corrected and no longer have two teams playing each other twice.
