9:30 AM Sunday starting time means I am not attending

I was considering attending an upcoming, yet rather small ABT event (not more than 32 players in either the Open or Advanced for the past 4 years) but I noticed a 9:30 AM start time for Sunday morning on the flyer, so I quickly decided not to attend.

LOL who wants to get early enough to be fresh and ready to play so early on Sunday after often playing til midnight on Saturday ?!? This seems especially weird when one considers that said event is held near the airport and is single elim with a progressive conso and LC.

Why not start at 10:30 am or better yet 11 am Sunday?

      • What about making matches 2 pts shorter in the Open in long large bracket weekend events?

    • Here's an example of a smallish T in the EST zone with reasonable start times.
