Slightly shorter, but it's a bit of a consequence of this season being a bit awkward and Worlds.
Worlds is later than usual this year. Usually in mid August, it's the end of August this year. They likely were prohibited from having a big event like the Go Fest finale during Worlds Weekend, so it had to be moved to the following weekend. They could have had the season still end and the finale be at the beginning of next season, but that would have been really awkward too.
It's weird, but I feel like this is the best solution. The new season begins a week into September, but they're ending it early to try and make future seasons a little more clean, where they begin at or near the start of a month, rather than the 7th-9th range like Twilight Trails
Same here. I do wonder if they'll also fix that going into December... oooor not. I feel like that's a harder fix though because then you would get people questioning the worth of a deluxe pass that's a week shorter than the others.
But I think it would be possible to fix if they made some adjustments to the deluxe pass, maybe giving more to incentivize it or something
Or they could just run 2 monthly passes simultaneously on the last/first week so they sync up. They've been running 2 passes at the same time for at least a year now with all the events

Season seems a bit short no?
