Tournament times and daylight saving time in Europe

[Zuljah]

Hey all. I hope this has not been asked a thousand times before: In summer, the midweek tournament starts at 10 pm here... quite late for a regular working day. Could we start earlier in summer?

Cheers :)

"Europe" do not have one timezone.

There are 3 tournaments. Scattered through the tournament day, maybe another one fits your schedule better.
If not, bad luck, I doubt they will change the schedule to fit your early bed time

It's just called European or Asian or... but you can participate in any you like.

Yes it's only sooner for UK Ireland and Portugal.

My opinion on this : I don't like playing in those tournaments, (too long for the saturday one, and for wednesday, Asia is okay as long as i'm not doing something else, and EU is to late for me to get in tryhard mod. But it's a me problem, nothing else).
Now it's still interesting to see the differences between the NA time tournaments and the others.

I feel OP's point is valid. The Wednesday tournaments start at 15:00 (3pm), 22:00 (10pm) and 4:00 (4am) for most Europeans. The tournament runs about 90-120 minutes. None of these times are particularly compatible with the lifestyle of someone with a regular daytime job. It's either too early or too late. It's similar for North Americans who live on the East Coast.

But still, it's also worth considering that not all countries observe daylight saving time. Russia and China, for example, don't.

Europe have 4 timezones. If you count Russia to Europe.
GMT, GMT+1, GMT+2 and GMT+3.
