I'll say this to avoid any further misunderstandings, this is my interpretation as a referee ONLY. tbag correct me if I'm wrong in any part of this
From the information I have received, the first match will be started at 13.00 GMT and will go until midnight at latest.
What does this mean? It means that the first match of the tournament will start at 13.00 . But it doesn't mean that you will have your first match EXACTLY on 13.00 . tbag himself will adjust a reasonable schedules with your timezone(s). The workload we(referees and staff) received ourselves covered 11 hours. That should be more than enough for every timezone(s).
By the way tbag, how do you gonna do if participants in the same group have too much time difference? This is the first time I'm reffing in your tournament so I'm just curious.
Anyway, what I said above might not be 100% correct. But I have to say something here just in case that you're thinking of withdrawing from the tourney. So don't be hasty about things.
