Getting a time that works for everyone is difficult. Too early and west coasters have problems getting involved. Too late on a work/school night and you lose people on the east coast halfway through because they can't or don't want to be up at midnight. It takes roughly 3 hours to get all the matches done with all the "Where is your 4th", everyone ready", BRB gota piss, get a beer, soda, water, w/e nonsense.
Starting at 6 with teams starting to get picked at 645. Teams won't be finished until 7PM-715, the first round won't get started til 730 even if everyone is on the ball.
So now you are already up to 10:30 before all is said and done if you are lucky. There were times it went to almost midnight.
If you are going to make it later then Id suggest a night when people can stay up later without risk of being late to work or school. But that also has problems as was stated by Cellar who has a life besides DM.

when things go well, people should be start playing by 7:00pm
and normally does when I don't have extra shit to worry about, people leaving mid picks etc.
Also having more then one admin would make that easier
Herb and cellar have talked to me about helping
anyone else just message me.

well if you actually pick players from the overflow channel who show up late, then i guess that time makes sense, as para said matches could run pretty late. and yes nino I'll help.
