The tourneys I enjoy most are Thematic event. But at 2 am it is v difficult for me to take part.
I have sent this proposal three times at least to Channel 1. It seems this is the right place to send my idea that it should earlier. I don’t enjoy starting an event at 2 a.m. ending at 4 a.m. I have won it one and come 2nd (usually tied) out of 6 or 7 events in last five yrs. I try to have a regular sleep rhythm. I think you could try it least twice. Then if nobody takes part, you can speak with confidence that there is no point to it.
How about it?!

What time are you proposing?

As far as I can see from the flags next to players’ handles there are a lot of European members. If it started at e.g. 21.00 UK / Portugal / W. African time. That is 22.00 Central European time (West & Central Europe). Tourneys take two and a half hours.
That would mean that players in N. America on the E. Coast would start at 17.00, Brazil at 21.00,

I think that should be a sufficiently large catchment area to get enough players to have an event. 

Actually, 2100 UK is 1600 Eastern Time (-5 hours) and 1800 in Brazil (-3).
