Are 10 pm and 11 pm ET Online Drafts Viable?

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Thu Jul 23, 2015 9:16 am

Last night we filled a 10 pm ET Cutline Championship League pretty easily, which was a pleasant surprise in July. We are always looking to give you folks what you want and my concern now is that maybe we aren't catering enough to the West Coast folks and to the late-night East Coasters with our current schedule of events.

So the question is: Do you folks want more late-night Online Championship offerings and Cutline Championship offerings? We can add them if needed.

In the last two years we've tried to offer 7 pm ET and 9 pm ET Cutlines and Online Championships every night in August and early September. We found last year that all of the 9 pm ET leagues filled and we struggled a little more with the earlier times. Maybe we have this backwards and need to offer more 10 pm and 11 pm ET offerings, or do you like the 7 and 9 pm time slots?

We can add August times if the demand is there. We're looking for any feedback on this and want to make sure we have a schedule that fits your needs. We definitely like the 9 pm ET slot, but should we be adding one more time slot after that? And if so, what time slot fits best?

Thanks all for any feedback on this and look for a busy, busy drafting season over the next 50+ days.

I like the 9pm and 10pm is great too as it allows for players across the country. For me (as east coast player) 11pm ET is too late. Especially during the week. Thanks.

I work till 5pm PST or 8pm EST or 1700 PST or 2000 EST.

I can't draft at these times. So anytime later is always good for me

Let's give it a shot on Friday night. With the 8 ET league about to sell out I just put a 10 pm ET Online Championship league on registration. If you want a later option on Friday night here you go. :)
