 |
|
Its a big problem for european players that a master always takes until 2 am or 3 am in the morning, because they always start so late...
Why not make them always on Saturday in the morning from north american time like 8 am ( so it is 4 PM in Europe..)
Would be very good, if this is possible for the next Master/Invitationals... |

| I agree. Some people actually have a job and staying up till 3 am isn't exactly the ideal thing if you have to wake up at 0700 am. Saturday > Sunday. |

| It would have to be like 10 AM east coast time because otherwise the masters would be starting around 5-6 AM west coast time... and a lot of people don't wake up that early. |

I dont know the time zones in north america, but it should not be a problem for the players from north or south america to get up a little bit earlier as usally, like 8 AM...
Then they have to play until 3 or 4 pm...
Where europe's players have to play until 10 pm...
So 8 AM EDT should be good (Saturday, of course) |

| I agree too, also because from mine Masters start at 20:00 >_< Playing at sunday's night is not very fun when you have to wake up early on Monday. |

Getting up a little earlier at 8 AM isnt a big problem for people of the EAST coast of the US, but for people on the WEST coast of the US, they would have to be getting up at 5 AM! So 10 AM east coast --> 7 AM west coast, which wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem. |

| Nothing forces you to play in the Masters/Trials. If can't make it, tough luck. This issue has been discussed many times and nothing has ever changed, and that's because the majority of the league who participates in large tourneys like this live in the Americas. |

I agree with Holzi, this is needed for make masters more competitive, in fact often top8 players are americans or such cause a lot of european players must drop cause it's too late...
8 a.m in america isn't so early, it would be better if master start about 5-6 a.m. but 8 a.m. is good too |

I would like them being earlier (although I missed the last one because of oversleeping  ). I'm from South America btw. |

| Isn't it possible to switch it every now and then? I understand that there must be a possibility to play in masters for as many people as possible, but does this league really contain that much people form Northern and Latin America, that it can never be 4/5am at their time zone to let european and african and maybe even asian players play a whole master tournament? |

it all would not be a problem, if the masters would be on Saturdays
Nearly nobody has to work or go to school on Sunday morning... |
