I have a mate that enjoys his TGC but his only regular gaming night is Friday. This does not work with the TGC Tour schedule because the current week's first two rounds have to be in by Thursday night and the following week's have not been published (we are in Australia so they are not released until Saturday afternoon our time. Is there any chance of publishing the tours 24 hours earlier to accommodate the Friday night gamer?

No way I guess.
Saturday morning (Eastern Time) is already quiet early (with the tournaments starting on Monday officially).

So the proposal is to move the times to accommodate a single player, with the possibility that it could screw over many others who may only be able to play Thursday's and would now be missing cuts due to cut line being moved to Wednesday

Everything stays as is except the courses get published 24 hours earlier so those people who might only be able play regularly on a Friday night can join in more often ( ie they are available for one day longer than currently).

I'm an Aussie to and I concur with the OP but I feel we aren't of any importance to shift anything around...... Not that Friday night suits me personally tho as I'm to sloshed to play on Friday nights........ Cheers!!

Not that Friday night suits me personally tho as I'm to sloshed to play on Friday nights........ Cheers!! It doesn't really affect me either but my mate's situation got me thinking that anyone who might be limited to a mainly Friday night gamer can't really commit to playing the tours. It shouldn't just affect Aussies as I believe the tours are published midnight Friday US time so it would impact Europe and most of North America too. It just seems odd that we cater for those players who can only play on the weekend but not Friday nights. Surely it isn't too hard to publish a day earlier and run them for 9 days instead of 8?

To Be honest I 100% agree as Friday night is my only free night where I could play my rounds at my leisure but part of the reason for me getting frustrated with the game is having 2 rush my rounds as my schedule is rammed Saturday - Thursday even 12 hours earlier would suit me.
Great idea hopefully it happens but probably not.

I don't think this change would impact anyone negatively.
I personally don't normally play at the weekend and the biggest issue for me is the cut being on a Thursday. I'm normally near the cut line but I sometimes have to play all of my rounds, then I get cut and I've wasted time. Can the cut be brought forward to Wednesday please so I have Thursday as my occasional 3rd and 4th round night please?
Now that IS a personal reason just for me which would have a negative impact on others!!

I'm going on vacation this coming weekend and wont be able to get my rounds in by Thursday to make the cut in week 2.. So if we could, please have the Web tourney ready to go this Thursday night for me so I can get my first two rounds in.. I was prepared to miss this week but since people are asking I thought.. Why not

Yeah just have them run Thursday to Thursday, no reason why not. Can still make it Monday as first day to input scores.

Being an Aussie I would certainly be open to this idea. Friday nights would be the most ideal time of all the week for me to play.
