All tournaments one hour earlier?

[BlackLava]

Hi,

it's a real headache to find the best setup and please everybody about tournaments schedule : The global idea is tournaments are too late (not for everyone but it looks like the overall feeling) so what about moving ALL tournaments one hour earlier?

when I say all I'm talking about op66 ones only ( and only daily ones ) :

OP66 hetmans, oz wombats, NY time and british crown would move one hour earlier.
OP66 invitational too
Ultra Outlaws too
Outlaws tournaments too

BUT
Mammoth, ladies and STL plus all real money freerolls and tournaments outside the ones primary listed wouldn't change.

I can't make a vote for each other setup and the result of the vote here won't mean we will move or not the tourney : The idea is get the overall feeling at first!

would like 1hour earlier for tournys would give me a chance to play the ny my only drawback would be saturday when mammoth and bc would clash

[BlackLava]

I have to add I will read carefully US & Oz players point of vue here and weight their words a bit more : Uk team starting to be really the major part of the active players so if we simply apply the result of the vote it could please the majority but kill the minorities... I hope it makes sense to you : The change must avoid country focus and keep our worldwide setup

Noooo please dont change them. Hetmans is perfect (10pm Sydney time). It would be great if you wait until daylight savings kicks in and then change them.

[Earp10]

i like it . it would offset the 25 dollar freerolls from the op tournies if i read this right. would be great to stop playin and losin 2 tournies at the same time

[saladdodger]

In a few weeks bst ends anyway,an we lose an hour.
so moving back an hour then would mean the crown starts at 5pm.
quite a few will struggle to make the start time.

[jockney]

Would mean I would only be able to play tourneys at weekends , so It wont be getting my vote

[roo27]

the clocks go back soon withch will but them all 1 hour erlyer anyway so iv voted for them to stay the same but after that it would be nice if we could change them twice yerly thay stay much the same time

[Denham]

No No No! lol

A 6pm Brit Crown start ain't gd, i don't get in from work until 6.30pm each night. I'm sure a vast majority of UK players work 9-5 so is a struggle to get home, changed, have your dinner and basically get settled.

+

The clocks go back in October at some point anyway so surely we can't go back 2hours on each tourney - a 5pm brit crown tourney during the week isnae a gd idea, will have like 20-30 entrants if your lucky!!

I would prefer not to move the NY times tourney. That one is at a great time for me here on the USA east coast. I get my young kids to bed just b4it starts.A great time to unwind and relax at the end of the day, except of course when those flops and rivers kill me The only other one at night is ultra outlaws, not a play chip winning prize. The others i play them if i happen to wake up in the wee morning hours. No time for any tourney is good for everyone,but the NY one seems to work well at that time for a lot of the USA players. So in my opinion, I for that reason i vote to leave them the same.

[MRCOOL1]

sorry, would have to say that if the tourneys were moved I wouldnt be able to play anymore.
Wombatz is 11pm for me, and i barely make it in time as it is. all others are a moot point as they dont fit in my schedule anyway.

please dont move 'em.

[zsazsaz]

My US view; The only times that I currently have a problem with are the Saturday morning games (Mammoth, Ladies), and those won't change.

Based on the popularity of 'UK time' for most invite tourney events and daylight saving changes soon, my vote is to keep the current times.

[Tb1rd]

I have to firmly say hell to the no here

I have trouble making most tourneys as it is, the only one I would benefit from is NY times, but I'd miss literally every other tournament.

I'd prefer the mammoth to be a little later but if not then I think you should stick to how it is

[ultimodragon]

Please no lava,im in uk,work a pretty standard shift,am lucky to get home for bc,wombats all ready too early,even for my day off lol
With no mill and half mill torneys,think if people begin to miss their chance at one big torney a day will be a lot of unhappy people.

very good point, saladman! certainly would reduce the amount of times i could play the BC for sure.

[Tiger_Girl]

then i cant play wombatsit will be to early for me and the other ones i normaly dont have time to play in week days

[yeoman42]

one hour earlier for the tournies would suit me fine,but is there any chance that the mammoth can be adjusted to 2 hours before the bc like it was before so i can play both,i find it impossible to play both at the same time,mammoth is nearly over after 2 hours so you can fit in both lol

[crinkle62]

No Mr Lava Sir..........

please keep times as they are, as already mentioned, clock changes are almost upon us and if start times were changed too, lots of players will be unable to take part in tourneys....plus i wouldnt get to see my US friends as much !!!!!!!!

thanks x

[Breezy064]

No please!!!

The only one I can play now is the NY Times and that is only a couple of days a week, unless I stay up all night for Hetmans. If you make it earlier, I won't be able to play any.

An hour later would work better for me, then I could play Wombats more, but that's not the question...so please keep it the same.

[DeborahLee]

Please don't change them Lava....we have daylight savings soon in aus which would mean a 2 hour difference and I would nearly always miss wombats
