Yeah, I know. Trust me, I've contemplated setting things earlier. I did set things earlier a couple years ago to see how that would work.
Earlier would be good for me in a few ways... Especially because I'm usually up and at the convention center halfway early, it would give me a chance to possibly get to bed halfway early. WOUldn;t happen, even then, but...
![Speaking of tards. :]](./images/smilies/bd_bull.gif)
I can dream.
But, also, like I said, it's a matter of scheduling. We do have mostly limited timeslots, and I have to work within/around the other events. That right there is the biggest limitation
![Oh, bother. :/](./images/smilies/bd_ohwell.gif)
I have 16-18 GMs for GC, and as it is 13 are tied up GMing already. ANd when you have 2-3 each night who can;t GM because they have meetings to go to or something (I try my damndest to be flexible with the GMs to make sure I can give them at least one night off and work around any other events tehy have)... Suddenly you have every available hand running already.
If, for example, I was able to get a game in the 5-9 slot, I would have not only 12 GMs running the Tourney, but at least 3 runnings demoes and one shots during the first part of the tourney (Possibly more, depending. We're looking to up the game load a tad next year), and at least one running a one shot in the latter part.
Hard to do, on a scheduling front.
<shrug> I'm justifying, I know. Can't be helped. I have an annoying desire to attempt to make everyone happy if I can, and I know I'm doomed to failure on that count. Plus it sucks that what I (very firmly) believe to be the best course of action is also the one that goes against the wishes of a number of my friends, and means I have limited hang out time with said friends
