midnight is an awful starting time for an euboi. seems i’m destined to never take part in this

The match time can be adjusted. The problem is that people in Asia are on the opposite side of the clock. For example, I believe @Bob199 is in Taiwan. His time would be 6 am. If I move it any earlier, it will be even worse for them.

As the sign-ups come in, I will have a better idea of how to deal with this. For now, the start time is not set in stone. It may be adjusted by a few hours.

Edit:

I could move it to 11am EDT. This would be pretty early for the people on the west coast. I would appreciate any opinions that potential players may have about this issue.

If I don’t get any qualifying sign-ups from Asia, the start time will be adjusted to 3pm EDT. This should help the people in the EU.

The event should run a little over an hour,

Edit: Also, paging @Thelo. I am pretty sure your from Canada. Would you like to play? I might as well make sure Team World has all the Troqs. That will help Team USA to have a singular focus.

Alright, the time has been moved to 12pm EDT. This is more fair for all involved. Hey @Legion, I think this should fit into your time requirements.

I might have to speak to work then. I generally finish at 1pm EDT on Saturdays.

Well, I don’t know. 12pm EDT, is still midnight for @Bob199. Bob, is this alright with you? I could move it too 11am EDT. @Caralad , keep me updated on your situation with work. I really want you to be able to play. International scheduling is difficult. We will do the best we can.

Well work for me on Saturdays is usually 11am BST to 6pm BST. I can see if I can ask to shift swap and finish a bit earlier, or have it off. But I’ll have to speak to some people.

That is some next level effort. I bow to your hardcore spirit.

The earlier the better

10 AM EDT is the start time. No further time changes will be made.

Then put me on a tentative hold for now then as unless I have that day off I can’t make it.

Ehh there’s a chance I can cast this. Uncertain.
I have work the next morning.
