Possible Saturday Events

Based on some notes and recent topics, I'm going to approach Danny with the idea of trying out some Saturday events again. Before I do so, I would like to get some additional input. My thought is that we would have 1 event, we would try it every week for a while, we would alternate the time control, and we would try to have it at start at the same time every week (regardless of time control).

 

First, I'm going to ask for some votes on time of day. ICC has their event at 5 Eastern, so I would like to keep away from those times (even if they do conflict with our Friday event now meh.png).

 

Options:

  1. 7-8 Pacific; 10-11 Eastern
  2. 9-10 Pacific; 12-1 Eastern
  3. 11-12 Pacific; 2-3 Eastern
  4.  4-5 Pacific; 7-8 Eastern
  5. 6 Pacific; 9 Eastern


If this happens, it will be manually set up events that will only show up in the web-interface (unless they add manually scheduled club events to the app in the future).

 

For now, only choose a preferred time; if there is some kind of consensus, we will work through some ideas on the rotating time control, though we already have some suggestions from notes and other topics.

I am happy about this and my vote is for 11-12 PT, 2-3 ET.

I second the 11-12 time slot ( I am a New Yorker Currently living abroad and even with the additional hours this time slot is likely to be consistently good for me.  I think this would also be convenient for CST.

I should clarify that the two-hour range is for the start time (since the event would likely run longer, if not blitz). The earlier of the two times will end up being the option to choose, but potentially any time between those two.

I'd prefer the 9pm EST time slot.

Option 2 looks good.

eberwine

I honestly would be happy with any

RookOfLosAngeles

Option 5

EddiesGambit

I am happy with all times, #3 is my least favorite, but it's do-able. It all depends on the game speed for me.

Option 3.  Since it is a Saturday event, I think you will have few players on a Saturday evening, simply because of competing activities.

Dare-Dare

Options 3, 4, and 5 all look good.

I would prefer either option 2 or option 3, specifically with the longest time control possible.

3 would be great!

Option 1 in the morning and then in order with options 4 and 5 in the evening. So regular day time hours, not late night.
