Unless Columbus turns out to be modern, guess that's a year of not giving a ***** about GPs.
As a Canadian, all I wanted was a non-Modern event in Canada. But Toronto's modern, and Calgary... is also Modern. Thanks, guys. Just let me guess what Montreal will be.
Oh, wait, they didn't say whether "Niagra" (sic) Falls is the US side or the Canada side.
I asked support, and they have confirmed that the Niagara Falls event is Niagara Falls, NY, not Niagara Falls, ON. Which is a shame. I'd have tried to attend the latter.
I would have preferred to have a longer lead time for the GPs (6months ish). Last time releasing the schedule and format for the 1st half of the year followed by the 2nd half of the year later was excellent. Not everyone lives in the US or can get a break from work easily...
Judging from this year information dump, I will be going to zero events simply because getting off from work with a 3 months notice period is close to impossible.
Maybe the new PTQs replacing PPTQ/RPTQ will be a decent do over (if they ever release information on it in a timely manner)
Nothing in Orlando so that sucks. Tampa is an outside possibility I suppose but Id be going solo. Would love for Atlanta or Richmond to be Team Unified Standard. ROAD TRIP!
Is this 100% final? Seriously? I wanted to go to more GPs next year, but there are barely any in Europe. Not even one in Poland? Great job, Wizards.
There are 11 GPs in Europe next year. There are 4 in all of APAC.
At least they are going back to Taipei again this year after skipping 2 years. No GPs in China for the first time in...a while. I think China had at least 1 every year this decade. And that one is during Dragon Boat Festival where everyone has a long weekend...this is going to be nuts.

Tampa is less than 2 hours from Orlando, so that's an easy drive. I drove to Orlando, so now you get to come my way!

the drive isnt a problem. The fact that its a Modern tournament and no one at my LGS plays Modern is more the issue

Why does anyone at your LGS not playing modern mean anything? DO YOU play modern? Yes? Then what's the problem?
Anyways, this GP schedule is...weird. But maybe once we get more details on this revamped PTQ system (damn glad they killed the PPTQ/RPTQ system. hated it) this might alleviate the fact that APAC is getting almost nothing. Seems like they are moving away from supporting those regions.

Is it that hard to cross the border?
The reasons I deliberately choose not to spend any more time than absolutely necessary in the US are not a discussion the admins of this forum would want me to have here.
The nearest one is Las Vegas, which is a 6.5 hour drive. :/
Salt Lake will never get another GP because of how poorly the last one did. And it did so poorly because it was doomed to fail. M15 sealed, the week before Khan's released, and on the same day as Salt Lake comic con. I wonder why no one showed up.

That is terrible, terrible planning on the organizer's part.

I think the default (unless they have an unannounced change pending) is single sealed on day 1, then players who make the cut play draft on day 2.

Reality is only what man allows it to be. Few shape it so that many may accept it.
