Its very hard to feel sorry for the OP here.

Do you have any statistics for that? Im sure ive seen ones but i cant find them.
perhaps there are so many Americans on UTT because UTT suits american time zones more than other time zones, leading to confirmation bias. I would guess there sre more russain and indian players (combined) than US players, nevermind the other sub-continent nations like Bangladesh and Pakistan

As a singular country for definite, but there are a lot of asian and european (less so African) players- the US not being suited for 1 event Is really no big cheese when many members can only join 1 event every few months due to their time zones

Although looking at Blackfirestorm’s link most UTT is dominated by America, that is true. (Although that time didn't really suit Europe or Aisa either, it ended at 1am for me so naturally there would be less non American players at it)

All Saturday events is a bit much, as Western europeans like myself at least can make Tuesday events by just staying up a bit late- but yeah id day 2/3 saturday events should be geared for Europe/Aisa

I think Tuesday events are tied around when titled tuesday itself finishes

I'd be in favor of making 2/3 of the saturday events good for eurasia, but adding more events is too chaotic. Just no.

It will be stupid for people from USA but not stupid for people around the globe. They need a chance to play more often.

Saturday events are once a month, and rotate times to cater to different time zones every month.

They also count double for the leaderboard.

Yes.

The turnout from Saturday events that have been at a good time for Europe and Asia but bad for the Americas. These events have generally been poorly attended.
