At the same time,"In conference game time is the bracket game time listed minus 30 minutes" is what DW stated in the other thread. Why not just make the official game time what's listed on the bracket? "Be prepared to play 30 minutes before Gametime" is what I've seen in many tournaments(not conference). That's used in case games finish quicker. Keep the game time as the game time, not adding some other note to it.
Conference has some dumbass time issues. You've got that rule, but if a game finishes earlier, the next one doesn't start on time or 30 minutes before it's listed. Teams will take grounders and do whatever else passed the scheduled start. Why not start the next game right away? Why allow teams to take grounders passed game time? 4 teams taking grounders before games puts the schedule an hour behind at the end of the day, but we know it's more than that. That's why games are played at 2am, then having the loser typically come back to play at 8am. Why are those teams punished for others not reinforcing game times?
