Hi guys, I'm that guy who does the reddit posts for TF.tv events. I've been wanting to try a new format and I want to get some feedback on what you guys think.

After talking to lamefx, we've been wanting to cut down on the number of posts we make to help keep things more clean. Instead of an "x hours from this post" submission, I want to try a "Matches for Wednesday the 31st" (fill in any date), similar to what Sheever on the dota 2 subreddit does (ex: http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1h3j7u/matches_on_wednesday_the_26th_of_june/). The post will contain all of today's matches, and if there aren't any matches but still interesting events, we'll make special posts for that.

Here's a list of competitive TF2 matches going on for this day! All times are in EST and all matches are casted by TeamFortress.TV.

---

3:00PM
Broder and Epsilon battle for the Premiere title in ETF2L's 6v6 tournament. (link to event here)

11:30PM
Mad Men and Classic Mixup fight for a spot at ESEA's S14 LAN. (link)

Do you guys think this is a better way of doing the posts? If not what can I change?

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

Might want to add time zone to the times.

I think the "x hours from this post" format is the best for getting viewers into the stream. People can be very lazy in their web browsing, and if you can inform someone of when something is happening without them clicking a link and scanning a post about it then they'd be more likely to tune into the stream.

I agree, I've been too lazy to open the link before, but made sure to tune in simply because of the title of the post.

It's also a quick and easy way to figure out when a match is being streamed when you're an international viewer and don't know the time zones at the top of your head.
