Update after day 1 of 2021 USTA League Nationals

Day 1 of this year's Nationals are in the books, and here are some notes and observations.

For the 3.0 women, I didn't get a simulation published, but a 6-way tie at 3-1 was projected with New England, Southern, Midwest, MoValley, Intermountain, and PNW, and after one day just MoValley under-performed going 0-2, and now New England, Intermountain, and Southern are projected to go 4-0 with a 3-way tie at 3-1 with PNW, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic vying for the spot.

The 3.0 men had Texas, Intermountain, NorCal, Carribean, and Southern all at 3-1 or better, and after day 1, the list has expanded to be Caribbean, Southern, Intermountain, PNW, Texas, Eastern, and Mid-Atlantic.  This one could be a tie-breaker fest.

The 3.5 women had eight teams at 3-1 or better, now it is seven with a 4-way tie at 3-1 with NorCal, MoValley, Midwest, and Socal.

The 3.5 men had seven teams projected at 3-1 or better, now there are five in MoValley, Florida, Midwest, Southwest, and Southern.

The 5.0 women had five teams projected at 3-1 or better and there are still five, but Texas has moved into the group replacing NorCal, joining Intermountain, Mid-Atlantic, MoValley, and PNW.

The 5.0 men had five teams projected to be tied at 3-1, but now the projection has NorCal slipping out of the 3-1 group with PNW, Southern, Mid-Atlantic, and Eastern remaining.
