Yeah fine I think I speak for all guys in India here:

Can we have earlier tours? The problem for us is that tours start for us in the middle of the night (actually 3:30 am Saturday Morning-Friday Night). We deserve to play without sleep deprivation!

While Lord Ninjax can make very annoying posts sometimes, I have to agree with this one. For people who live in a Pacific time zone, like me, the tour times can be very inconvenient, with the Sunday tour forcing some people who aren't in EST to play at midnight, which obviously isn't a very optimum time to think at high level.
Could the tour times be shifted just a few hours back? e.g from 2 PM on a Sunday to 11/12 PM? I doubt I'm the only one who this affects :[

The problem with that is that later in the season, tours usually become increasingly harder to fill up. I remember season 16 because I hosted a lot of the later tours and I struggled a couple of times to reach 64 entrants. Because there's a lot more players living in NA / Europe timezones the current times help with this issue a lot more. Also, if you push back the Sunday tour you suddenly have a lot less convenient times for the American West Coast players which have a large playerbase: the Friday tour is about 3 PM their time which is bad given that Friday is a week day and you'll usually be doing something else at these times. The Sunday tour would end up at 8-9 AM for them which I doubt anyone wants to play a Smogon Tour at these times... So yeah, it sucks for you guys but given the live nature of these tours the current times really satisfy a majority of players :x

I'm not in the mood to make predictions, we'll see who makes playoffs first. However, in the spirit of preseason, I'm probably gonna go with Bloo.
