>I agree with Yuri, that weekend would be better. All team members have a job, so this leaves only 3h (6pm-9pm) to communicate and create something. Weekend gives more opportunity. Of course, it also means, what the weekend is dedicated to the Tournament (or at least half of it) and not to the family.

We are discussing that right now in private and here's why I think this is good to keep as is.

Two events of 48 hours each are being planned. One is held during the week and the other one is held during the weekend. Thus, we are not going in favour of one approach or the other. If we target both during weekdays, some will prefer weekends. If we target both for weekends, some will prefer weekdays. So, it's half and half. I think it's pretty fair like that.

Some needs weekend to relax, spend some time with friends and family, etc. And, some are busy a lot during the weekdays. So, this is also why we have 4 members per team. This provides flexibility to each team to act accordingly. We don't expect that all team will dedicate the 4 members on each event. Some of them may only put 2 members on the weekend event and 3 members on the weekdays event, etc. So, this is one good reason to have 4 members. Also, because it is during summer time, it was also a good decision to accept 4 members per team in regards to vacation. So, those are good reasons to have 4 members and good reasons to keep it as is for the dates for the two events.
