Normally the matches start at 19,00 (CET), now the SF match starts at 6.00 (CET)

As a NT manager and GM I can tell you: this is not a bug, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

The BB staff is very sorry about this.

It would be helpful if you could explain why this is not a bug. What reason could there be to play the game in the early morning hours of the host country and the two teams' countries?

Unfortunatly, I am not at liberty to discuss a BB's post in the NT coaches thread here, but the information I gave comes directly from Charles.

No, this is actually fine - the question was asked in the NT Coaches forum, but it's not a giant secret either.

Here is what Charles wrote:

The semis did not appear because we screwed up.

The games now exist and have been delayed as long as possible. The games will be processed at midnight Friday evening Boston time to give you as long as possible to set lineups.

I wish it were possible to run the games in the normal time slots, but to do so on Friday would create a mess because of the late creation of these games, while to do so on Saturday or Sunday would risk injuries in playoff finals creating problems for the U21 teams involved.

I really don't have a better solution, I'm afraid.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live
