Does anyone know the time slots for the events this year? I don't want to pick events that compete at the same time...

"Most" is a stretch, probably less than a third of tournaments nationwide follow the Nationals conflict blocks (loosely estimating an upper bound from memory, I doubt this has changed in the last few years). That said, since OP asked under the assumption of their being uniform conflicts, they probably live in a state where the Nationals conflicts are followed statewide.

Sorry, maybe I'm biased because most comps use Nationals conflicts here in Virginia.
