[Tutorial] -> How to find the perfect time for your Tourney-game! (even with different Timezones)

[t0x]

hey

soo obviously there are several tournaments going on and there s always the "when will we play?" question...
the worst part of finding a fitting time is calculating through all the different timezones, cause tetris players come from all over the world. so i searched up some sites in order to make it easier for ppl to find their right times.
the most important knock-out criteria was, that the website itself shall calculate the timezone difference, to make it as easy as possible!

here we go, the best site i could find was ------------->>>> http://www.scheduleonce.com/



although the website itself is pretty self-explaining, i took some time to screenshot the steps on how to create a new time-schedule.

to find a perfect time, there have to be 2 things:
1. a deadline, when is the last time to play?
2. ppl answering and writing down their possible times

so someone has to make a match-time-schedule that the participants can choose their possible play-time!
here you can see how to do that:



1. visit http://www.scheduleonce.com

4. "spray" / "make green" the specific time till the end of the deadline

5. copy the given link, its the link you have to post in this forum or pm the participants of the game!

6. dont worry about timezones. the website will ask you everytime you click on a schedule link to choose your timezone, and calculate it!


7. have fun!
