During the course of any given week we vary the starting times of the trials. To get a better handle on what time players would enjoy trials, we want you to respond/fill out this poll with the time closest to when you would like usual trials to start. All of my times are on EST (Eastern Standard Time), but you can get a conversion chart off of google or http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc to help.

i would really want to see nightly trials, like 9:00 or 10:00 CST in week days and probably 2:00 - 4:00 CST sundays trials. that would be awesome..

6pm EST is nice, because sometimes I have to go whole weeks without the desired trial because they run at noon(Like the elusive T2 trials except for thursdays or tuesdays ussually).

I think nightly trials would be better because it gives people the chance to get everything have to do over with. I dont know how many times i have wanted to enter a trial but i have stuff to do around the house.

Here is the problem. I would like to see more 12 noon Trials but if mass size is whats wanted, Then 12 noon kills our Usa numbers being most people are in school. However 12 is ideal for Europeans to play to help increase numbers. No matter how we set the times There is gunna be a section of the world that wont play that much.

Why not do two a day? I can't do unless its 8pm cst or later. I think two a day could be handled and would be worth it.

Having two a day without invites would result in every other player having a Bye in the master.

I think that 10PM(7PM PST) EST would be best for me. Since I'm on PST and I am usually unable to get home before 5:30pm(8:30pm EST) on weekdays, so 6PM(3PM PST) EST would be bad for me.

I would like to see some "Midnight" Trials available.

Sadly I work evening shifts and don't have the time during the morning or early afternoon (When most of them are held) to be able to jump into one.

I am sure that I am not the only one that works evenings and would like to see some later Trials take place.

Maybe even set up a "Midnight League"? A league specifically for those who can on play during the wee hours of the morning.

Mini's are great, but Trials grant access to Masters.

Midnight Masters might not be a bad idea either.

I think noon trials are much more reasonable now that school is out in the USA. I enjoy noon or earlier trials since I also work evenings and usually only get into early weekend ones or the ones running on days off.

i think that you'll never find a good time to make trials because there will always be a group of people that would be unable to play...but 6 pm EST is the best time for me
