But that's just the >start, could easily be after 09:00 by the time the game ends. Is Peter planning >on being late for work with red eyes? Basically, I'm expecting ugly hours whatever the schedule turns out to be. I think last time I ended up having to take a day off work plus gettin up at 5:45am each day for the early round. Thats one reason why I wanted to limit it to a single weekend! Looking at this years schedule, it does look a bit worse for me since 9:00 EST is going to be about 3:00 NZ time. I'd rather it started a bit later for sure!!!
