L3rk 5-10pm sounds good (not sure how many people would stick around for 5 hours though) but the main concern is time zones. I live in america, and here it's 3pm-6pm depending on location but in Europe its 10pm to 1am also depending on location. if we do this on a Saturday at 2pm -6pm EST for the east coast (11am - 3pm PST west coast) that's 7pm - 11Pm GMT (In London). That's a bit early for the Americas and a bit late for Europeans but I think it crosses over a time that both time zones would be online. Would that be a good time to host or does someone else have a better time? Alternatively we could have people from multiple time zones host different servers or transfer control of the same server to someone from another timezone when it gets late.
not to leave people who aren't in the Americas/Europe but I think most people are online in those zones, I could be wrong though.

That sounds like a good time to start then, how long do betting servers usually last? Can anyone here host during those times and knows how to run a betting server? I know Redd knows how and lives in GMT-0, but I cant recall anyone if anyone else does.

Now that I check stats specifically for Toribash, it seems that it could be more convenient to go from 9pm to 11pm GMT 0. Like a couple of hours standard and let it to someone else if it refuses to die. Usually bet servers last if people in it aren't getting decaps. In july we had one going for 6 hours.
Regarding bet servers, Redd is the one with most experience. I hosted some, I know how to moderate them.
