you know, it's not really cocos fault an event she hosted for fun that got thousands of participants total just so happened to miss your time scheduele.
australians had a chance, as did pretty much everyone else. if the event mattered so much to you, i'm sure you could have found a way around it. just like the majority of the playerbase begs their parents for gralat packs, you could have begged them to stay up for the event.
As for everything else, im pretty sure it was something done by coco alone, so you can't really say the staff team was incompetent on supporting all players.
