For Round 9, it wouldn't be reasonable for me to commentate Tuks-Hippo, because my game might still be going on, and because I expect to be totally fried even if it is over. So my only option is the early (for me) chessandgo-Adanac game. Hopefully being groggy from lack of sleep is less critical for commentary than it is for playing.

This week I've got a 2-day convention to prepare for so I'm afraid I probably won't be available for any of the games to do commentary.  FYI

This is a case where the 15 minute delay definitely works to your advantage as a commentator. Maybe Toby can volunteer to start the commentary and then you can take over when he goes to sleep?
I wasn't planning to do any commentary this weekend but I'll re-consider now that everyone else has to back out. I'll try to make sure my Sunday afternoon is free. Will there be a separate channel for each game?

I'd volunteer to do a commentary but I don't know what games are still available. Can someone enlighten me?

Are you looking for a solo game or do you want a co-commentator? Tuks - Hippo has no commentator yet, so that's open if you want it. The game would start Sunday 20:00 your local time.

I am sorry, I should have been more precise. I'd like to be co-commentator for a start and see how it goes from there. I'd be a solo commentator in a pinch but don't expect too much of me in that case.

Do you want to co-commentate the Fritzlein - rabbits game with me?

There is a high probability I can provide commentary for the Tuks/Hippo game. (Fritz, I can probably be up in time to provide co-commentary for the Saturday game, if you are interested.)

Sure, I can use a co-commentator, although the first priority is of course having a main commentator for every game, so if you only have time/energy on the weekend for one, please let it be Tuks vs. Hippo.

Hmmm, Tuks vs. chessandgo is scheduled for Sunday morning. I think I could deal with the early time, but I am afraid that commentating might tire me out for my own game Sunday noon. Adanac, what would you think of a pact for both of us to commentate Tuks vs. chessandgo, so that there would be no fatigue advantage either way for our game later?

Commentary or not, Greg will be up before the scheduled time, no worry
Actually later times are equally fine for me, my whole Sunday afternoon had top priority, I suspect the algorithm might pick the earliest common convenient time. If Tuks is fine as well with later slots, maybe we should postpone the game by a few hours to make it more commentator- and spectator-friendly?

For me it isn't a big deal. One hour later is better, but two hours later would leave me less time to recover between games, and three hours later might make it overlap with my game. On the other hand, for people on the west coast of the U.S., the currently scheduled time is 5:00 in the morning, so they might appreciate three hours later.
I suppose that our maximum audience potential is after the west coast of the U.S. is awake and before east Europe has gone to bed. To meet this objective, we might move Tuks vs. chessandgo three hours later and Fritzlein vs. Adanac two hours later. The latter is fine with me. But that also is terrible for Asia; at least the present early game might not be too late on Sunday for Asian viewers, whereas moving it later would put it into the middle of the night for them.
By chance I am also free all Saturday this week, so it would improve things for me if either game were moved 24 hours earlier. Then there would be no issue of exhaustion from both playing and commentating on Sunday. Also the community might benefit from having two days with an event instead of one day with two events. Or is this a benefit? Maybe the largest crowd is achieved with a double event where folks just drop by for as much of it as they can.
The currently scheduled times are at least fair to the players; perhaps it is best not to tamper with them?
