[Cwo] CWO results are out

[Jim Talens]

I suspect that "bad" for NA means virtually no participation given age/NA
membership majority...

The whole purpose of the three sessions is to have ONE bad session time for
each geographical area. The three sessions are equally spread around the 24
hour clock.
I'm still trying and hope to attract more JAs !

Robs' suggestion may be right on target. It may be that the timing of
Session 3 ..  which should be prime for JA .. is one day too late for their
weekend. So, moving things up a few hours might solve that issue as well as
solve the interference problem with NA SPRINT.

Consider this:

Session 1  Sept 7 0000z-0359z   (bad for EU)
Session 2  Sept 7 0800z-1159z   (bad for NA)
Session 3  Sept 7 1600z-1959z   (bad for JA)

First, all three are on the same GMT date. That's probably not important,
but it's nice.
Second, everyone gets one good morning session, one good afternoon/evening
session, and one middle-of-the-night session.

I put the spreadsheet on Google so you can see this graphically:

Thoughts?

One thing we should consider doing, I think, is maybe putting session 3 in
before session 1. During the last two outings, people stopped doing session
3 after a couple of hours. It was pretty late on the east coast, for
example. If it was made the first session, though, it would be a lot more
attractive for the JAs and EUs, too because it keeps the whole thing
confined to Saturday for them and it starts on Friday evening for NA
players. We may even think about starting session 3 two hours earlier
because it would keep the east coast guys on board.


I like this idea. 
 

 As for which weekend, I would opt for keeping it on the first full or
partial weekend in September.


I agree.
