Don't end the season now. Tack on an extra weekend or two, and let the 'Season Ender' tournament play out over those weekends, with the non-COGs match bouts of the Tournament playing at the same time as the extra COGs matches.
Captain Smollett:
Playing out the tournament over a series of weeks would definitely mitigate the -how the hell do I mobilize my team for 5 hours- problem and if I understand Machiavelliest correctly, many of these round one games could take place during week 7 of the Cogs for the teams who aren't already playing that week.
If the tournament matches were scheduled into rough time slots, this could really help increase the ease of participation for a lot of teams.
Shinkurex:
interesting, wouldn't this be even more short notice if we started it week 7 though? We might have to make special provision this season (Extend the season a bit) and then start up proper Season 2. This is, of course, if Swallow wants to run it this way.
Squidslinger Gilder:
If your going to be adding on time to the event then keep it between 2-3hrs or less. Stick in at least 1-2 intermission periods as well. Basically how I've done it with raiding and Ops running for years. Gets the maximum amount of time in and protects against burn out. Any longer and your deathmarching it. Course thats an MMO and this is aircombat. But either way the biggest hurdle is that time frame because this community is so spread out among the time zones. No matter what time you pick, it won't make everyone happy. So it then comes down to just minimizing that impact as much as possible. Some crews will get hit harder than others, that is just how it goes. If some have to rotate people then they'll have to do that. I actually wouldn't mind having that option cause we got folks who can't make the current time but could if it was an hour later.

Yep. The question is whether or not the shorter notice is easier to handle than the 'deathmarch' of time consumption. We could just close the season without a tourney, then use a tournament to reestablish the COG structure.
