Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I am GMT-5 so that is good we have such close timezones. I prefer the weekend so that works too. I am on late night, overnight, and early morning for me (weird sleep schedule ik) so whatever works best for you :)
