Possible Saturday Events

Option 3, early afternoon Eastern!
I worry the first 2 are too early for the West Coast, and the last 2 are too late for the East Coast.
I am all for Sunday tourneys with a 5/0 SS format since chess.com has abandoned this most popular time control. Anytime is fine with me. Please, no arena format, that is for morons.

Which ones are PM/AM? I can’t tell.
But assuming that 4 and 5 (and part of 3) are PM, and the rest are AM, I’d vote for option 3.

Since they cross time zones, there is overlap but 1 is in the morning and they work through the day from that point.

My preference is for the earliest time, followed by the second earliest, etc. So, I guess, Option 1, then 2, etc. How would one join these tournaments if they are not listed in the same place as the others? Usually, I just scroll through the various options a few minutes prior and easily choose the USCF tourney from the menu.
Options 4 or 5.
