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'm gmt -5 and yeah the time difference will make it really tough. i can play late night my time after i come back from work (usually 9pm+). let me know what works.
Unfortunately I'll be at work when you get back from work, so weekdays are definitely out. Does sunday night mine work for you then? I can stay up a bit late if needed, but preferably not after 1am mine (12pm yours).
