I appreciate the sentiment in saying it's an Oceanic challenge, but I must confess I think it would be much more accurate to say it's a Singapore/Malaysia challenge. Especially given that it's midweek and presumably will take several hours a night, I suspect 9pm/10pm/midnight starts will rule out a large number of Australian east coast + NZ players. Sadly, this is common for the "Oceanic" region due to such a wide timezone spread (much like the US east/west coast split I guess).
Tanitha: And 6pm for Indonesia. There is also a lot of other countries on
(+7 -> +8) UTC.
And yes, even not allowing for Asia, even West Australia -> Newzealand spreads over a 5 hour timezone. IE 7pm West AUS = Midnight Newzealand.
It doesn't help, that East Aus, + Newzealand just went into daylight savings recently, which pushed the time difference out to a extra hour.
The competition is set to 11am UTC, 2 hours earlier than previous competitions, based on the player feedback here.

Yes, there is similar problems for the USA timezone, but usually there is a 3 hour spread for the bulk of USA, and 5 with Asia -> Newzealand.
When daylight savings finishes, the times will be 1 hour earlier for east Aus, and Newzealand.
