Saturday tournament scheduling: 3pm EST or 4pm EST (or other)?

While that's true, the US and EU player-bases are the major fractions of our community. Hence it makes sense to try to find an arrangement which suits the needs of these two.
Rhinos prefer 3pm EST over 4pm EST for any weekend event.

4pm was already havoc for our Australians but was manageable. I don't have as much sympathy for the Europeans starting at 9, 10, or even 11PM as I do for the Aussies having to play at 5:30 AM

Exactly, I feel for the Pacific area peoples, but just looking at demographics across the board, I actually think there are even more Europeans in this game than North Americans.

Since you are talking about how Aussies might be affected, I will tell you how it does affect me.
I have definitely missed both Saturday and Sunday events because I have slept in. Saturday and Sunday events pose different problems for me though. Sunday Rumble starts at 6am on Monday morning my time, that means if Sacrilege make the final I might not get to work until 10 or 11am which can be stretching the friendship with my Employer. So for Sunday Rumble I would personally rather it start earlier and not have 1 or 2 hour waits between matches so I'm not late to work every Monday morning.
Saturday Box social does not have the same constraints. This is an event that my clan has signed up for multiple times, and one that I have always missed due to sleeping in until after 6am on Sunday morning.
For me I prefer Sunday events earlier and Saturday events later.
