Yeah...fair enough. I understand.

So, as you can see, those 2 recent invitations worked while our current game is on. That's great :-)

PS> Don't be afraid to throw your best players at me in these games

I need to give my 75 year olds also some playing time ;D

Yes they did, but why on earth only invitation sent by you didn't work?


Well, my SF trainee is having fun destroying your geriatrics!

Ok... If we implement certain time for matches for Season 1, I guess it would be then necessary to assign a time for each team, based on location. For instance if it would be 4PM EET, then for your team it would be 10PM, and to some team in Eastern USA 10AM. However, Australia and USA are big countries, so it also affects what part of country one is in.

If you necessarily want to know, I will dress the oldest roster of all time of my BB history to our match beginning 6PM EET. It should be worth of an achievement ;)

Yes, however, this is where I think it becomes difficult as we have teams from across the world in different time-zones and only a few weeks left to be certain we have them correct.

With that said, if we could do this, and create 'time-zone difference' data, we could use that for future seasons too.

Do we have time? How will we go about it? I tried googling time-zone translations/difference with no luck. I will keep trying.

I'll try to do better in the actual HGL matches, I promise :D

"Taipan destroys Wagner's Geriatric College!" (y)

That would look bad, wouldn't it. I might not hire you as my PR consultant after such sales speech xD

I have kept my full lineup for each match the same, only varying the tactics in each one. It will be interesting to see what comes of it.

Exactly, it's something we could utilize for future seasons as well. And gathering time zone data from teams joining HGL later would then be a breeze. I already had such time zone chart in mind, however, at that time I thought it would be handy to do it for communicative purposes. But it would well serve this purpose as well.

As for as time zone difference map, I've sometimes used a map found from wikipedia. I don't know if it's absolutely correct, but it has given me some guide at least. Greatest problem/challenge we're going to have would likely be with "wide" countries (AUS, USA, etc.), that spread over multiple time zones. We would just have to ask managers at which time zone they reside.

It's understandable some living in big countries might not want to reveal their location in terms of town, but I guess time zone isn't too "identifiable/sensitive information" so to speak.
