I told my team to be on Wednesday @5pm EST, I also told some of your teammates that time so yeah ofc that’s cool

[Xyzther]

Heads up, one of my teammates just told me they have work until 7pm est. are you guys able to play at that time or later tonight?

[Absolize]

Is your entire team good for 7pm?

lol...odd question to ask during this stage.

[Absolize]

@Xyzther

My team has agreed to play our match at 7pm EST over the previous agreement of 5pm EST. The match can be no later than 7pm EST though at this point for today because of plans that some of my teammates made weeks ago. We’re being as flexible as possible here, but match would have to start at 7pm EST no later tonight, unless you want to go back to the previous agreement of 5pm EST. Just let me know

[Xyzther]

Our 5th still hasn’t gotten back to us lol. One of our teammates leaves on Friday for a cruise, so if they don’t get to us by 7 I think you guys are getting free ride to next round

Unfortunate if it does go down that way, but we will do whatever we can to play you guys! Can message me in game or anything to update me buddy.

Our 5th ended up not showing up. Because this was the only day that would work for our team (one of our players is going on a cruise that doesn’t have WiFi unless he was willing to pay $200 lol), we have no choice but to forfeit the match. Sorry we couldn’t play you guys, Apex, I know it would’ve been a fun and competitive match that would’ve been a thrill for everyone. Hope to see you guys in the tourneys to come!

Unfortunate, thank you for your time and good luck in future tournaments!

Unfortunate you guys won't be able to compete

With that then, team Apex will advance due to DQ.

Will,

I’m not confident that we will get this match in by the deadline. Two of their players have very difficult time zones to work around. I’ve suggested a couple, for example, Sunday 10 p.m., but that is 5 a.m. and 4 a.m. for two of them. Friday/Saturday seems to be off limits as people have plans. This one is more difficult than the last, not sure what we can do here. I’d also like to add that if it comes down to it, I don’t think our team should be penalized as we are within a maximum time window of atleast three hours between eachother making it easier for players to schedule future matches in this tournament.

Would more time allotted be useful at all for you? Is there any possibility you guys could get the match in post-deadline?

Also -- Thank you for letting me know and putting in the effort to figure out the time discrepancies, I really do appreciate it. I honestly wasn't expecting this to be that much of an issue, but I think future tournaments (like this) will require that teams tell me their time zones ahead of registration. Most definitely a learning experience.

I would say yes to more time, but their team is best available on weekends and next weekend I am unavailable Friday/Saturday. That would leave us only Sunday and I don’t think everyone would make it. I’d have to ask. I spoke with the leader of Betrayed and he said in message that he would be willing to let us move on to the next round if we can’t get the match going, but we’re currently seeing if we can play tonight. If not, the match will not be happening.

Hello Ghost,

Holyfuryzzz, (Reborn team captain.)

This message is to address the current issue with settling on a match time with team Family. The issue is that our time zones differ greatly and we can not settle on a time that works for both teams. Team Reborn players are all within the states and can pvp in the evenings; however, what may be 8pm Central time in the states may be 4am for a player in another country. This is a cited example from a discussion with Family team captain Wreckor.

[Dolloway]

I think adding a bit more time to the deadline would be greatly appreciated by the teams that still have to get in their matches.

However, with that said, I would also like to add that if this happens, then the next deadline should be the final one. Both teams need to coordinate with one another and sometimes a mediator is needed in order to best schedule matches (example: Walie and Lonebrute's game couldn't work out a time until a middle person stepped in). I suggest listing a set of times and seeing which time works best for the majority of players. There are going to have to be some compromises from some people, otherwise games will need to be agreed to be played 4v4 or something.

Attaching the screen shot as per holy's request.



So you're saying the teams are north America vs Asia time zones, mostly? That's painful sounding and imbalanced. Teams should ideally be assigned based on compatible regions and time zones. Good luck.

I have tried to organised a more fair time for the ctf match for every player. When first approached I posted time zones of my entire team for holyfury to see.

Holy saw this and still suggested to have the match at 8pm central time which results in having two of my team mates play at 3am

USA central - 8pm

Family
Wreckor - 9am
Lag - 9pm
Chaotikz - 3am
Blo - 6pm
Zoro - 3am

I felt this very unsportsmanlike requesting two of my team mates play at 3am.

Then holyfury suggested a time of 10pm central, which would be 11pm on the east coast and 8pm on the west coast

USA central - 10pm

Family
Wreckor - 11am
Lag - 11pm
Chaotikz - 5am
Blo - 8pm
Zoro - 5am

But again it will be forcing two of my team mates to play at 5am for them. Which is still un fair.

I have now suggested a new time of 10am saturday central time.

USA central - 10am Saturday 21 july

Family
Wreckor - 11pm
Lag - 11am
Chaotikz - 5pm
Blo - 8am
Zoro - 5pm

And I am still waiting a response.
