+1 The time's that the events are set allows British people and  European Players to take part in events! Keeping this at this time is amazing As americans and us brits can play together

This will not do what you think it will, it will push it well ahead of most school end times in the US. The US averages 8:08 start times for high schools and middle schools, with an average of 6.64 hours spent in school per day. In the PAST timezone events would start about 1.7 hours before the average school gets out .7 hours in the mountain zone. In CST the average school would get out .3 hours before events but after factoring in transportation the average student would miss the start of events. EST gets out on average 1.3 hours before events leaving it to be the only timezone with a reasonable chance of making it to events, excluding 75% of the US in NA events. Will post sources when on my computer as it is a bit difficult on my phone

I'd say we probably have 20% of players who don't have to worry about getting home from school early enough, another 15% that can't even play because its night during NA events, 30% in England and Europe which this would be ideal for, and the ones on the west coast of NA that primarily play? They don't even go to school. Aswell as about 25-45% of most players are located in EST or a timezone similar.

Nothing against you (Dragon1240) or against this suggestion, I just wanted to point out I love it and find it really funny when people pull statistics straight out of their ass. Did you know exactly 65% of MCP players have done that at least once on the forums? Also 18% of players active on the forums are located outside of North America.
