Same time, some of us need to go to work in the morning and being up till midnight is a bit crazy for us in the Eastern time zone..
9:30PM is my vote.

Yeah I'd like to see it more open to the teams to decide. Other than that, keep it the same (Monday nights, no opinion on what time).

Remove the default. Will prevent teams from forcing others to play. Just have a STRICT deadline of Sunday at midnight with the consequence of both teams getting a loss.

930pm est mondays
930 gives those who work later a bit of time to get home...a lot of stores around here and malls close at 9pm..would be nice to have all our starters...also for the west side, thats 630pm. gives a bit for din din or school

I say you should do away with the default time as well, because it can give some teams an unfair scheduling advantage over others.

default time is good, dont have a default day. if no date is agreed before the end of the week, then no points should awarded :/

The lack of default time I feel will make teams feel they can forgo scheduling until later in the week and give an unfair advantage to teams that don't "play nice" in scheduling.
If there's a scheduling conflict and it turns out one team tried to initiate communication before the week the matches start while the other team delayed in touching base, the delaying team should be appropriately penalized. If this is something admins don't mind dealing with, by all means remove the default date/time.
However I do feel a default date/time is nice (and I am a fan of 9:30ET. 10:30ET might not be so bad if teams are always actually ready to play by then) because at least our team avoids scheduling things for those times in all leagues because they know far in advance that's the most likely time for a match to be played.

Keep the default the same way it is. The only reason for the default is if teams can't decide, then it defaults to Monday. People have school/jobs. However, I think a deadline should be put in. If somebody looks at division 1, they are just going to think that nobody cared about division 1 twl. Something like Friday at midnight EST. That way we will know for sure that all games will be scheduled by Saturday morning (if not at the usual Thursday night), this way people can still play early matches if they want to.

It's dead. When it got down to 3 active teams, it wasn't worth trying to keep scheduling teams against each other. Next season will be stronger with D2 teams moving up!

I say default time, as if there is just a deadline and if the match isn't played, both teams get a loss, it unfairly penalizes the team who worked to schedule and could show up any day of the week just because the other team didn't feel like playing that week.
Oh, and the current default time works for me.

Is there any chance of scheduling happening through teams specifically?
Like releasing maps and matches at the start of the season (instead of this wait until thursday/friday to find out what team you play) and then just let the teams schedule as they go so long as scores are in by sunday or something?
Otherwise keep it 9:30 - some of us in college do like to hit the frats up before an 8:30 the next day
