    First, I'd like to say that this 'Summer Creative Contest' wasn't very... how to say it, publicized? And that's why I didn't do a good building enough 'cause I knew about it 3 hours before the end line. Just saying, the Industrial one was more... noticiable?

    The suggestion is, about the hour for the contests, I live in Ecuador, South America, and it's confuse to me, and I don't think I'm the only one, the hour zone thing, my idea is to but a 'brawl hour' that you can see here in the forum and put it as a reference to the contest and stuff.

    I hope I explained it well cos my native language is spanish.

    Well, I think brawl hour timezone would be pretty confusing, because it'd need to be referred to by another timezone, like GMT or EST +/-

    Just know what timezone you are in and calculate that time.

    I'd say something about the publicity of the creative contest but I was away so I can't give a point on that.

    Ya, I know I can calculate it but it'd be better if we have a brawl hour, just to do the things without any problem.

    And well, I'd liked to get on 1° in this contest but not enough time... :/

    A brawl hour is going to confuse new members on the forums. I suggest just typing EST/UTC/GMT/whatever to *insert your country* time conversion into Google.

    I think that everyone got an alert on the forums and that should be good enough.

    I don't know how it would confuse the people more than this kind of time zones, but well.

    Yes, it's a good idea.

    No it's not enough. New players to brawl wouldn't know about the competition. Competitions are a good way of retaining player base

    Pretty sure in-game there is a notification thing every some minutes about it, I saw it for the industrial contest.

    The main difference between the Industrial and the Summer competition is the time: You had 5 weeks for Industrial and only 1.5 weeks for the Summer competition. We couldn't make it any longer since we want to host more events.

    Regarding the time: We already had lots of issues with timezones and dates for events in the past, so we now always state the date in UTC, which means "Coordinated Universal Time". This timezone does not have daylight saving, so through the entire year it will remain the same. UTC is used worldwide as the standard time for ships, planes and so on.

    I understand. At least would be good if Brawl put the hour here, just saying.

    I think it wasn't for summer one.
