That would be, what, 1:30 AM Saturday (tomorrow) morning on the left coast? You might as well go to sleep now and set the alarm clock. Laughing

It depends on your time zone. I think the east coast it starts at 4:30 am tomorrow morning (Saturday morning) . Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. I really want to make sure I'm up and watching move 1.

Yeah, you're right on the time. I don't know if there will be any kind of time delay in the transmission of moves for security reasons. Don't plan on any delays, but it might happen.

Also, I've watched a few of these type of broadcasts, and depending on how clueless and inept the web site guys are, it's not unusual for the site to be overwhelmed the first day and have the broadcast be inaccessible for a lot of people.
