In the Nationals Forum their has been discussion about the decision to swim 200s at Nats by time only and not by age groups. forums.usms.org/showthread.php .Here is your chance to register your opinion for future reference.
I would prioritize as follows:
First, six events. For the first time in my experience, LCM nats this year dropped the 6th event. If I'm going to spend $1000 or more to go to a freakin' swimming meet, fer gawsh sakes, please let me swim all six events.

They dropped the 6th event in 2009. However, it was all good because I got 5 Top Ten rankings from that meet. I like swimming against my age group but, I get it if it has to be mixed/by gender in the 400IM, 400 free and 800 and 1500 free. Overall, I am just glad that they are putting the 800 and 1500 on different days even though I am stuck here on the East Coast, :(
