    What I have always wondered is what happens if I reschedule a game to the exact time (or within 15 mins) that my opponent has another game scheduled to play. Will the game allow this to happen? I undestand its a 1000/1 chance, but still possible.
    I am assuming that as you are in Australia, and you say most of your games are played during the night (your time), that you are playing teams from all over the world (inc Europe?). In that case, a lot of your opponents are playing the matches in day/evening time. I bet they don't consider what time it is for you. I would suggest you play ALL of your home games at a time that best suits you. Let them have some night-time matches instead.

    Raykco, yes in Australia, eastern standard time. I used to get up to watch a few matches at midnight, 1am, that sort of thing but found it difficult to get back to sleep so stopped doing that. If my game is important against a leading League contender I will change time to early in the morning here, but I do do it to give my opponent plenty of notice. 7am here is 10pm GMT, so that is not like changing it to 2am GMT when it would be impossible for most to watch.

    We do get the raw end of the stick over here regarding match times. Nevertheless, we will battle on regardless.

    No regrets

    Most of my matches over here in London are usually between 6pm and 11pm GMT. Obviously, I don't know quite how the time difference affects the game engine, but just a thought. I pressume that the time of maintenance over there is around 11am-12.30pm?

    Therefore, I wonder, if you were to set your home kick-off time for say, 8pm (your time), given what you say about the time difference, that would be about 11am GMT. Even if you were to set it later, say 10.30pm (Aus time), it would be early afternoon in Europe. That shouldn't be too bad for your opponent.
