Week 4 Scheduling

[Summa]

Games will be played back to back on the half hours as was done last weekend.

I would like your opinions on the start time though.

Your options are:

a) 4:30 est - This would start games about 15-20 minutes after the conclusion of the world cup finals and have games end at approximately 6 est (more reasonable ending time for europeans, while still respecting the sanctity of the WC finals)

b) 5 est - This would allow more time, 45-50 minutes for people to return and get online after the conclusion of the world cup finals (maybe even watch the awarding of the trophy?). However, consequently games will end at 6:30 est which I know is late for europeans. (because 22 minutes makes a world of difference right?)

I will be gathering opinions for 24 hrs or less here, then I will post which option we have decided to go with in this thread.

Emofucks votes 4:30

5. Nice and even, enough time for less excuses.

[Black Mage]

So thats 2/8 teams. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

4:30 says EOW

[Summa]

Games will begin, as indicated by option A, at 4:30 est.

Thank you for your input, or lack thereof.

[Displaced]

so games start at 11:30pm.

what if the final goes to extra time or penalties. everyone will still be watching that shit.

also, its already starting way too late.

Would you chose if I gave you the option to have sex with her...

or her?


In conclusion... Both options aren't even slightly pickable, so I refuse to do so...

[Major Crisis]

None of the Dutchies will show. I am sure many other europeans wont show either.
So we have another week with no showing?

[Zeebu]

it was either play both weeks or take two weeks in a row off...

could the games be played before the WC matches started? that would hurt the west cost most i think?

[Black Mage]

We know most of the Dutchies probably won't show. Thats at most 20 people, whereas there are another 200 some players. Pjotter, just try to make sure that one of your asst's will show.

It was either play the games at like 9am West Coast time on a Sunday (people have church/drunken stupor) or play the game at 11pm-12am in Europe. Nobody wants to wake up early for a game, but more people will stay up late for a game.

TWL is on a schedule, so TWDT could not afford to take another week off.

wtf is WC? u guys goin to the bathroom?? lebron is goin to MIA baby !!!

[Summa]

so games start at 11:30pm.

what if the final goes to extra time or penalties. everyone will still be watching that shit.

also, its already starting way too late.

If the WC does go to extra time or pens, I will consider delaying the matches until 5 est; however I cannot go later than that out of respect for Europeans that will show up and their need for sleep on a Sunday night.

Obviously too late now, but I do have a suggestion for any future instances of this nature... Saturday

[Burnt]

I say postpone this week and play 5 matches back to back the next 2 weeks (10 matches in total, so 6 regular matches, 3 from this week and the basing 1 from the earlier round that needs to be replayed.) I mean if you're gonna play them back to back mine as well play them on a day that isn't the the same day as the WC final.
