When you start to consider scheduling playing times for North America, for me at least, any Saturday after 6/6 (not counting 6/6) is perfect. Mainly because last day of school (forever ) is 6/5 for me and I'd like to get school completely out of the way.

I'm available just a few days later than Dex (at weekends anyway) because of me thankfully getting a new computer around the time of my birthday, which is the 7th.

Alright.

To anyone curious about the dates and times, please speak to WolfInABox and/or Phyrexian.

Ben, there are too many members in US. We've already discussed this, so I guess you can watch if you want.

Mid-June Steam.

Change my position to being a sub. Life has taken over so chances are I won't be able to participate. If I do manage to have time to make it to the matches then I'll still be there.

Alright, thanks for letting me know.

@Phy / Wolf have you guys decided dates / times yet?

Well, speaking about the dates I have a question. Do you want this tournament to start now (as it's already summer for some people), or wait until people in Europe have their summer hols too?

Maybe, but mine doesn't start for 5-6 weeks, and it's probably not very different for other people in Europe.

It's up to you though Toa, I can go whenever I get my computer.

Sure, we can start it now. Let it take place only on Saturdays.

DP:

WolfInABox has resigned from co-host.
EJ has replaced WolfInABox.

As Toa has stated, the tournament is to commence this Saturday. Two matches will be held per weekend, for six consecutive weeks in total. Toa has given his consent on this.

I have come up with tentative times for the first two matches. None of which have received Toa's approval yet.

* DT/ST are the abbreviations of Daylight Time and Summer Time respectively. These two are essentially the same, as they both denote that a time zone is of a DST variant.



For America vs. Asia & Australia, I prefer the third fixture. As those residing in the time zones of GMT +3 to GMT +5:30 have a chance to partake. I should be able to partake the match in the other two fixtures, though with some possible difficulty. However, many in Asia would not be able to turn up.

The same applies for those in America in the third fixture. Of course, it would be an ease for some. However, that's not the point. Either way, somebody has to compromise. Anyone willing? If there is no solid opposition or suggestion, I will have to pick what I see fit.

If anyone has suggestions on the times for both matches, I would greatly appreciate if you provide your responses.
Also, if you see any errors in the times presented, please alert me, so I can rectify them as soon as I can.

2 AM EDT???????????????????????

There is no way I will play at that time.

There is also TAS vs HS on the 13th by the way, unless I don't have my comp in which case it'll be postponed.

Only time fixture(s) One and Two work for me, the third one is ridiculous @1AM for CDT (US Midwest) isn't happening for me.

Well, there isn't much we can do to be honest. The best thing that can be done is that since Team America is fairly large, and obviously not everyone can make Fixture 3's time requirements, that those people who are able to stay up until 1AM (CDT) or 2AM (EDT) can play for Team America. Unfortunately that isn't very many people. However, there are a few players in Team America who live on the far west coast of the United States at GMT -7 allowing a realistic time to make fixture 3 In which it would be only 11PM previous day there.

That's probaby my only suggestion as to what could happen if we HAD to use fixture 3 for Team America vs. Asia/Australia.
