I'm at GMT+2, so last round starts at 2300 for me, and ends around 0030.

I can suffer two hours delay with no big deal. Actually I prefer it, because
Sunday is a working day for me and starting 1600 is too early.

I am still lobbying for 45+10. It can fit into a two-hour round schedule. 30
minute games are lightweight, and automation or operator speed play too big a
role.
