Day games

[FUDU]

Has the idea of having games run at noon (as well as midnight) ever been brought up or discussed?

I'm talking day leagues separate from night leagues.

Pros, cons?

I'd like it. 24 hours to set lineups and rotations between series, just a different time.

You didn't bring it up, but anything that isn't the same time every day would be a big issue.

I'm no techy guru like moscrather but I really don't see the time of day being an issue in the "when" the games are run through the computers as long as that time is the same everyday.

But what I'm suggesting is a mid day league, separate from a night league. So for those deeply rooted in strat and so hooked that they go through withdrawal symptoms while waiting for 12:30am to show up they can run a day team and have some strat results at 12:30pm.

Actually, it does matter what time the games are run. For sizing purposes you size the servers and allocate resources based on what is needed during peak usage. You run the games at night because that is when activity on the server is lowest with regard to people just hitting the site for various purposes. Run those games midday and you have that intensive resource hog going up against your busiest general purpose time.

This is common at all computer shops. Batch jobs are run at night when they will not slow anything else down.
