Team USA scheduling

**GUMMO77** · 07-27-14, 06:10 PM

For me:

Monday-- Only 7p.m. or later. I know that doesn't leave much room, but I'm going to be traveling back home.

Tues-Thurs -- 12-3 and 7-11.

**ArunSh** · 07-27-14, 06:14 PM

For me:

Every day, 12-4 and 11 work for me, unfortunately the 5-10 times just won't work for me.

**mpaschal34** · 07-27-14, 06:22 PM

The later tourneys will work for me due to work. However if others have conflicts I may be able to sneak out early on one or two days. Only day I cannot play early is Thursday. Here's my preferred times:

Monday: 5 pm ET or later
Tuesday: 4 pm ET or later
Wed: 4 pm ET or later
Thur: 7 pm ET or later

**ballahollic2** · 07-27-14, 06:27 PM

Monday I will have to do one of the later times. The later the better. If I could do one of the 3 latest times that would be perfect. All the other days I can whenever I am needed.

**mpaschal34** · 07-27-14, 06:37 PM

ArunSh.... By the odds listed, looks like you are about to go on a great run.

I'm hoping that's just a typo - it's crazy to give me +2500 when everyone else is like +5000, the format is way too random for anyone to get odds like that. But I guess no one will be betting on me, so I don't have to feel bad for anyone when I let them down by not winning heh

**smitch124** · 07-27-14, 07:08 PM

The safest for me, is as late as possible every day, I can't guarantee getting home before 9 PM Eastern time. I'm on the West Coast.

**ShogunRua** · 07-27-14, 07:20 PM

the 7pm - 11pm on all days is what will work for me.

**mpaschal34** · 07-27-14, 07:24 PM

Triple D.....are you running the schedule? Just wondering if we can a central point of contact. You seem to always be on top of things.

**d2bets** · 07-27-14, 07:30 PM

edit: nevermnind

Sure, I can keep track of the stuff. Any swaps after we get a schedule should be coordinated between the people switching though.

Once we have all availabilities, I'll put something together and we'll see if it works for everyone.

**Mr KLC** · 07-27-14, 07:39 PM

Mon-Tues 10pm-11pm
Wed 7pm-11pm
Thur 10pm-11pm

**BiTeMe UsAdOj** · 07-27-14, 07:46 PM

I will flex my schedule to fill in at ANY TIME needed to fill any scheduling holes/availability.

Just let me know what time for what day... I'll be there.

**Triple_D_Bet** · 07-27-14, 08:09 PM

Jedi, Sportfan: need your availabilities ASAP. Will PM you guys as well...schedule shoudl work out so most guys play same time every day, don't have to split many time slots currently and possibly fewer if Jedi and sport are available.

I usually wake up late, but will set alarm for the 12pm if absolutely necessary. I won't be fresh as a daisy for early tourney's & may not be as sharp as usual.

Shouldn't be a problem scheduling you per preferences. Schedule looks solid so far, but will depend on Jedi and sportfan.

**sportfan** · 07-27-14, 08:46 PM

Mon-Thursday 9pm-11pm anytime

**Jedi Mind Picks** · 07-27-14, 08:50 PM

I would need 7, 9, 11
I wish I could be more flexible but there is 0 chance for me in am and 3pm is extremely difficult

**Triple_D_Bet** · 07-27-14, 09:02 PM

We're gonna need to figure something out gents; we've got 6 guys that need the last 5 timeslots to be able to play.

Mpasch: there's no chance of thursday any earlier than 7?

Shogun, any chance 6 would work for you on thursday or rest of days as well?

Smitch, sportfan, klc: any chance you could do something earlier on thursday?

**bobbywaves** · 07-27-14, 09:06 PM

I assume these 4 man tourney's will take less than 1 hour to complete? If it goes over 1 hour somehow, is the next tourney delayed? I noticed starting chips is 2k.

**Jedi Mind Picks** · 07-27-14, 09:07 PM

I would like to suggest a possible skype group to communicate, schedule and make any last min changes if needed, I know you guys are all playing to win so lets make sure we are able to communicate easily.

Tournaments could go over an hour, but probably not, and it wouldn't be by much I think given blind structure. Regardless, I'm sure multiple tournaments can be open at the same time.

Not opposed to it, but might not be necessary...a couple of guys are pretty flexible, PM'ing em directly for a swap would work best right?

**Jedi Mind Picks** · 07-27-14, 09:16 PM

yeah I know it might not be necessary but any extra effort in this case will only be an advantage, even if only 3/4 of the group participate it will help and it keeps our schedule off the boards. Its easy to see a few reasons why in this spot info on the other teams schedule is of value. can always delete Skype when its over

**Jedi Mind Picks** · 07-27-14, 09:17 PM

I will try and play a 6pm if needed also but will need a little notice

**bobbywaves** · 07-27-14, 09:20 PM

If someone needs to swap with me, I don't have PM access. So any swap request regarding me should be posted early in this thread, hopefully I'll see it in time.

**ballahollic2** · 07-27-14, 09:22 PM

If need be I can do 7pm ET or later on Monday. As long as I can get one of those 5 slots I will figure out a way to make it work. I am also on west coast so i'd prefer to not do 12 ET in the morning on Tues-Thurs. All 11 other times just pencil me into what works and let me know!

By Thursday I should be able to do something earlier, what time are you thinking?

**mpaschal34** · 07-27-14, 09:24 PM

I guess an option I could do is to take a long lunch on Thursday. I could do the 12 or 1 pm ET. But I have to be back for meetings between 3-6 pm.

This is what I mean, skype chat would fix this issue, no need to wait and see or hope someone checks pm in time for game. Life happens and never know if somebody needs to miss for a reason no one thought of yet. At least a group of us should do so. Its something thats not important until its really important. PM me if interested or post up here. Likely take around 3-4 min...

**Triple_D_Bet** · 07-27-14, 09:30 PM

smitch, jedi: if either or both of you guys could do a 6 on Thursday or Monday it would help get mpasch and balla scheduled.

Mpasch: if you coudl do a 12 or 1 on Thursday that would be helpful to get balla scheduled.

Bobby: good point, for guys without PMs email might be best. Alternatively, stuff can be posted in thread and you can subscribe to it for email notifications.

Google hangouts might be easier for access on more platforms?

**Jedi Mind Picks** · 07-27-14, 09:41 PM

I only suggested skype because I already use it, its very quick to set up, feel like it works on any smart phone and honestly I have never actually met anyone who uses google hang outs. I'm sure there are many but unless there is an issue I don't see a reason to do hangouts, if so I really don't care that much and will switch, but lets get something going.
