I've had a silly idea as well - a kind of fumbbl Royal Rumble. Games start being staged 5 minutes apart, and winners play the next available coach.

One thing to consider -- if you start at 0:00 BB time, there will be some people starting as early as 11:00 the previous day, and as late as 11:00 the following day. This could rule some people out simply due to it being a friday when they start, or a monday when they finish. Not so good if you work during the week Wink


That's why I'm angling for a Sunday -- the majority of the players are around the BBTime dateline, but most others are North Americans. Not too many that far east. So if we start at 00h01 a.m. Sunday, it'll be around 3 p.m. Saturday here in Canada ... we'll be finishing on midnight Sunday BBT, which means at worst 2 or 3 a.m. Monday for those in points slightly east. Not TOO terrible to still grab a good 5-6 hours sleep and get to work.

If we started at 00h01 a.m. Saturday, nobody (including me) who works on a Friday would be able to do it. And the midnight-to-midnight thing is just plain cool.

BB Time is the time on the BB Server which is CET i think but either way UK time +1 (be that GMT or BST as is now).
If in doubt how BBT realtes to you go into one of the irc channels with a bot (ie #fumbbl) and type bb time and bowlbot will tell you the time. now look and your clock and workout your own +-
