when does the BB week start?
below is the USA schedule
( I am sure the rules have a similar week for The Netherlands
The weekly schedule for the USA (using next week as an example) is:

Event Type Start Time
Daily Update 10/17/2007 1:00:00 AM
Daily Update 10/18/2007 1:00:00 AM
Cup Game/Scrimmage 10/18/2007 6:00:00 PM

Training Update 10/19/2007 2:00:00 AM
Daily Update 10/20/2007 1:00:00 AM
League Game 10/20/2007 6:00:00 PM
Daily Update 10/21/2007 1:00:00 AM
Daily Update 10/22/2007 1:00:00 AM
Financial Update 10/22/2007 2:00:00 AM
Daily Update 10/23/2007 1:00:00 AM
League Game 10/23/2007 6:00:00 PM

my guess is that the week ends with one of the two in bold. Either the Training update or the Financial Update. My guess is that it is the Financial update

I HAVE read the rules, searching for instances of "week" and there is no mention of when the week actually ends. I assume training will be based on the games since the last training update. but am not sure on that.

EDIT
I just re-read the training part of the rules-
it just states
Players should ideally get 48 minutes per week, or one full game, in order to get the maximum benefit from their training

is that a BB week ( and when does that end) or a calendar week??

this is repsonse from a GM regarding my asking when does BB week start.

(1980.2)

basically, he said the same as the above poster said, BB week goes from Saturday to Friday

these are for USA anyway, so it coincides in USA with Training Updates. which occur at 2AM Sat in USA
and the Financial Updates are on Tuesday in USA...

hope this helps
