There's no perfect time to accommodate everyone. I will struggle myself during a couple of days as I might be in a place with poor coverage. The schedule has days off and there are breaks between rounds (mainly to make sure that reports come in and are counted correctly).
This is a new tournament, so let's make it an experiment. We may consider changes to format, rules and prizes (I will definitely seek more sponsors). My rough idea is to have one Champions League tournament per two calendar months. The first one is based on the Poliac league, later on we will have to introduce some qualification system. All TBD. Any input welcome.
I agree absolutely. With that many people, it cannot be ideal for everybody. I wasn't complaining or anything. Your proposed format looks great for now, and like you said, once we completed one, some ideas to tweak and improve it might arise. In any case, I'm sure it will be plenty of fun!
