Thoughts on CEVO match scheduling

I wake up at 4:45 in the morning to get ready for work. If I can play at 9 CST, you certainly can waking up at 6 or whatever.

If your team has such scheduling conflicts that it can't make what is a well established time of 9-9:30 CST, you may want to consider not playing, or finding people that can actually play at that time.

I feel like a lot of of us end up playing later than we should, yet most people in TF2 will attempt to work around your schedule. There are people that will also take advantage of CEVO's absurd start time for default matches. One thing that I hate is when people make up BS, and honestly Slinky seems to be doing that. Here is the reasons why I don't believe you were trying at that time.

1) I have never heard of anyone trying to schedule a match before 9PM est.
2) You explained that you tried, yet you said nothing in match comms about denying and reschedule the time/date. Furthermore, you explained that the person should talk to you on steam chat. Why would one want to do that if a team is saying nothing in match comms? The better idea would be to have proof.
3) You're team has scrimmed our team ALOT later than 9:30pmEST
4) Let's assume that what you said was true, you have people that have church late and dinner until 9-930. Why is it fine that church+food is OK, but a match isn't. So you're saying that you have a really early bedtime, but choose to explain that until after the fact. Wouldn't one that is trying explain that early as hell?
5) Lastly, how does your team even play ESEA? The default time is way later than 2 people on your team can play?

serv0lol who cares, when I had to play against jaguars team in open they managed to get the match on Friday at 9:30 est (ESEA auto accept after 24 hrs), I added him and he said they want to play friday and "they will take the forfeit win" if needed, so he has no room to complain when hes done this to other people before.

Sorry about that servo. I don't remember the exact circumstances of what went down back then but I remember that it sucked. I've had situations like that happen several times throughout the years and nobody's every happy about it, not my teams not the other. It usually involves some crappy circumstances like the other team being really inflexible and insisting on some terrible day like Friday or Saturday when half my team can't be there or some day when I have to use 2 backups. I'm pretty sure I remember teams being assholes and trying purposely to insist on days they knew I couldn't field six. I never just roll with the auto accepted time to be a douche or collect easy FFWs. But again, I honestly can't remember the details of what happened and I'm sorry it was shitty.
