I’d be more than disappointed if it was seperated that way. We have more in common with the NA region in EU than we do with RU.
Also, the NA time zone isn’t really active enough by itself to lead to an interesting tournament, we can all know who would utterly dominate that tournament…
As I see we have 2 zones - EU + Russia and NA + countries with the same time zones , right?

Evil’s right. The zones, if anything, are more accurately Russia and EU + Americas.
The west coast (Pacific or PST) on this side of the world is UTC -8 and the east coast (EST) is UTC -5. From organizing events in the past, the most convenient time for the largest number of people is late morning for people in the Pacific zone.
Generally, 10:00 in PST works well as that translates into 13:00 EST and 18:00 UTC +0.
Also, you guys. I don’t even. xD

WPK at its finest.
To make it most accessible for NA players it should probably be in the mid-to-late afternoon. Maybe 4PM EST and 1PM PST?

That’s a great timezone for South America also.

Yeah, I guess I meant more for just American NA/SA players.
P.S. It spells NASA.

If it’s on a Saturday, absolutely. The latest I would push the start time for the bracket is 15:00 PST or 23:00 UTC +0. Any further and it becomes a bit too late for Europeans.
Earliest start time, perhaps (as in my previous post) 10:00 PST.

Didn’t knew you had SA players, nice.
PS: SA for South America, it can be confused with South Asia 
Someone make sure that once times are finalized that they are CLEARLY and LOUDLY announced. I dont want to miss this tourney!

We’ve got quite a few Brazilians actually.
Afternoon not morning being it’s the NA bracket. We always have the crappy start times. I guess others will have to adjust this time around.
The Pacific timezone is 12 behind Moscow time so I think that is a a good base to start with. It also will make it more convenient for Australian players to participate if the start time is in the afternoon Pacific time.
After much discussion, I believe the ideal start time for the North American tournament would be 17:00 (5 P.M.) Pacific Time.
I am in the Central U.S. time zone. Starting at 19:00 (7P.M.) on a Saturday would be ideal. This would also work for any Aussies that want to play in the North American tournament, as it would be starting at 8:00 (8 A.M.) for them.

5 PM Pacific is 8 PM Eastern. A perfect way to spend your evening.
I dont see how will i get team for the tournament, but definitely will watch stream, just some more advertisement!

There are rewards for placing in the top 3 in any tournament. I implore you to at least try to find a team and participate. Even if you don’t win, you should learn some valuable skills in the process which will help you later. If you are looking for a team leave a post in one of the threads which I have linked below. Once someone responds, send some private messages and start coordinating a time to meet up and fly together.

We’ve devided this tournament into 2 zones. Mainly to give our American friends comfortable start time. And the question - how do you think… what is the best time to start the tournament on Saturday?
I’m asking, cuz I’ve never been in America and don’t know well the perfect time for all zones. And I need you help :001j:
We appreciate the consideration. I’m going to speak for everyone in North America and say that we don’t anticipate flying solely against North American teams.
As I see we have 2 zones - EU + Russia and NA + countries with the same time zones , right?
I believe that works. Here is why:
With regards to joining the EU and NA tournaments, and letting the RU have their own, I don’t believe it makes sense geographically. I believe that the so-called “NA tournament” should actually include teams which are mostly from North and South America, as well as any teams from Australia that want to participate. I’m not sure what kind of presence Star Conflict has in Australia, but I believe they should be included in the “NA/SA tourney” as well, since it would be easier for them to find a squad if the majority of the teams in the tourney are English-speaking.
At present, the start times for the tournaments are not listed on the main tournament page: [http://forum.star-conflict.com/index.php?/topic/21695-tournament-best-in-space/](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/21695-tournament-best-in-space/)
It is my belief that our tournament should start at 17:00 Pacific Standard Time (UTC -8). Starting at 5 P.M on a Saturday seems ideal. It would be at 8 P.M. for the East Coast as well (Thanks, JP). If we can include the Australians in our tournament (8 A.M. for them) I believe the tournament would be fulfilling and exciting for every player.
EU start times were originally 15:00 Moscow time (3 P.M.) and I think that would work for all of Russia and Europe. By trying to encompass both EU and NA/SA teams in one tournament, we would be pushing the Australian players out, since any time that would work for both American Continents as well as Europe would almost certainly not work for Australian players.
EvilTactician did raise a good point. Most people are probably going to assume that The NASA Corporation [NASA] is going to sweep the NA/SA tourney. There is no rule barring Russian and European players from joining the NA/SA tournament. However, they will need to decide if they want to conform to our start times. I don’t believe this is logical, since if North American, European, Russian, South American, and Australian teams get into a tournament together, one team will almost always be hampered by lag when intercontinental matches take place. Also, I don’t believe [NASA] is just going to swoop in and steal the prize. I believe that the team which practices the hardest in the weeks leading up to the tournament will come away with the gold. Nothing is certain.
Ok sign me up for t-3 and t-4 let me know when to show if its going to be true t-3 and true t-4. Based on the t-level of the ships not the rank and file, I d feel it is way too complicated and that the devs are trying way too hard to make all the cry babies satisfied on he has more than I do. Listen if the ship is a t-3 then the modules and it will matter not the rank. Just play your ships and fly them you would be just as proficient at flying one as the other. So do away with the so complicated system and just base it on t-level only. Oh you ask what if they have a mixed fleet well simple go off the highest t-leveled ship they have. This way they can not take a t-4 ship into a t-3 game or a t-3 ship into a t-2 game. Very simple! and very dummy proof.
Don’t belong here well copy past in right place I was hoping to get into some games.
TY Happy Hunting!
