Yeah, anything organized during the week is going to discriminate between American and Eu players. Just to emphasize the point, 4 pm est is 1 pm for me on the west coast, which is usually when I'm getting back from lunch at work. Given that clan clan is predominantly west coast, you see the dilemma.
With enough interest, we may go ahead and move it to Saturdays so we can start earlier, but even then, there's the potential to conflict with seasonals, hephaestus (if that comes back), aerodrome, whatever. I really don't want to have to compete with those for teams to sign up.
