Now I understand why you want to start at 6am. When we were discussing this event on CCC a few weeks ago, I thought the plan was to play the event over 2 days. When did this change, and why? 5-6 hrs/day over 2 days is MUCH better than a one-day, 10-12 hour marathon. As much as I'd like to play in this event, I'll probably skip it if I have to wake up at 2:30am to play. -Peter
