Proposal for European Players (XBox 360)

OK, this is something I've been thinking about for a while now, but haven't implemented yet because I want to see who's up for it first and how it would fit into my own schedule.
Basically, what I'm proposing is a second stikForce fight card that will most likely take place early on Saturday afternoons (depending on my own schedule) that will be moreso for the European players so they don't have to suffer with staying up into the early hours of the morning just for one stikFirce fight, and also for anybody that wants to fight but can't make it on Friday night and don't want to wait another week for an opportunity. If I hold it in the afternoon it would be around evening time for the European guys so they'd be more active and energetic when it comes to their fights. The reason I'd do it on Saturday is because virtually every weekday I'll be busy working during the day so I can't do it then.
That said, I will state that the times for the actual Live Broadcasts are set in stone and cannot be changed, so you'll still be up into the early morning hours to fight on one of those if you live over in Europe. Plus, I likely won't do this for the last week of stikForce fights before an LB because I need to have the final list of participants turned in by late Friday night or Saturday morning, so I won't really have time to hold another card to see if there might be any changes.
I want to see how many of the European guys are interested in me doing this since this is mostly for them before I make any final decision about doing this. If I get enough support from you guys then I'll probably start implementing this after the stikForce 2 LB.|||

This is an excellent idea but one that requires alot of flexibility on all parts. While we want to do our best to accommodate everyone these guys can't just be fighting against themselves. So there has to be a mix of players for both.
I do like the effort though Ruppy so instead of making this something for just EU players why not just break your stikforce fights up into 2 days. When players sign up they do like they did last week and sign up for a Fight Card time. Say you're running 2 fights card Friday and 2 fight cards Saturday afternoon. Once those are filled you add a card to Friday night or Saturday Afternoon depending on which has more support.
But again great idea Ruppy if its in your means to proceed with it fully.|||After the way last night went, I'm up for trying this =P 0-4 on these things now lol. To be honest I think last night was more down to my controller being unresponsive than me being tired, but I'll feel a lot better saturday morning. I appreciate you making the extra effort rupp, you're doing a really good job. Fingers crossed you can get a few US guys willing to either postpone their fights to saturday afternoon, or find a few who can only make it to this time. If it doesn't work out, thanks for trying all the same.
