Hey all, what time should be have it?

I'm inclined to say around 11 am MST, because then maybe our Aussie friends could play too, although it would be a little late. 11pm Saturday night isn't that late though.

I'm open to all suggestions.

(Edit: Wow, I've been made moderator of the Pop-Pop boards. I look forward to the position, and helping out this community as much as I possibly can.)

yeah....11am MST sounds good to me

-BluePot

the perfekt time for me would be everything after 7:30pm (GMT - that would be 12:30pm MST), because from that time on i have less people jumping around/on me, climbing and pulling on me. but if it´s difficult for everybody else to play after 7:30pm (12:30 pm MST) i will join anyway.
the only time i definitlely can NOT play is between 6 and 7:30 pm GMT ( between 11am and 12:30pm MST ).
see you soon
Lumisa
i hope i got the time-differences right here....

------------------

No, after 8:30 CET wouldn't do me any good. I'm not available then, because at 8:30PM on a Saturday night, I'll probably prefer to be out in the town partying....!

well, as i said, i´ll take part anyway - at least if it ´s not between 6 and 7:30 pm GMT or between 11 and 12:30 MST or between 7 and 8:30pm CET 🙂

Well for me it's ok anyway.
Fortunately I can make it this time!
🙂
so I guess, 8:30 CET would be great than.
Partying on a Sat-Nite won't start befor 10 or 11 PM anyway, right?

So it would be 12:30 MST right?
Is that ok for ev'ryone?

Well Lish, partying does sorta start at 8:30 CET because it's the Superstars final on Saturday.
I know.....I'm a bit sad really....

😉

So what time would this be in EST?

Time zones give me a headache. 🙂

12:30 MST would be 2:30 EST on Saturday. So far, Lumisa and Lish have said that 12:30 MST forward would be good; but BluePot said he'd like it earlier. Anyone else who has an opinion, it would really be appreciated.

I plan on finalizing the time tomorrow afternoon to give people plenty of time to know what time the tournament will be.

You lovely, wonderful, considerate number! Having calculated AEDT to be EST+1700, 12:30PM Saturday EST should be 5:30AM Sunday AEST...not much chance of getting over the inevitable hangover unless I don't sleep at all. I really am stuffed here, aren't I? :frown:

Congrats on your modship, #279. Most well deserved.

Usually I don´t have time to play on weekends :-((( Late afternoon (so that the tournament should be over by 7p.m.) would be fine for me on Saturday, but living in CET-zone probably will make it uncomfortable for people living in MST-zone... I guess its impossible to find a date that suits all players around the world. Espessially when you start regarding to their personal favourite playing time. Whether they play during work or exclusivly at home, whether they have children that have to be in bed before they can really concentrate on pop-pop, or they have to take care of their partners who might not have the patience watching the other one playing all night, whether they want to go out partying at 11p.m. or early to bed.You´ll never satisfy each person.... Anyway a pity, I would have loved to join. Maybe it would be possible to have a tournament during the week - in addition to the weekend-tournament - at least once in a while?! That would be great!

BTW congrats Number279 for your new career 🙂

What if we had the tournament at 9:00am MST? That puts it at 10:00am CST, 11am EST, 4pm in the UK, and 5pm in the rest of Europe. Then the tournament would be over before 6 for Lumisa, and early enough for Blue Pot. How does this sound?

I need feedback quick, because I really need to finalize a time.

5p.m. CET would be PERFECT for me. But, really, it´s not that important that I join. There are people who love tournaments much more then I do. But I sure will join, if the tournament will take place at that time 🙂

------------------

ok with me as well.

------------------

I agree with that!
Actually - I'm not sure if I'll be available anyway....

Okay, I've decided that 9am MST is going to be the working tourney time. That puts it at 10am CST, 11EST, 4pm (UK Time), and 5pm CET since this is what suits the largest majority of our players.
