'Night" properly includes the wee hours before sunrise. Nothing wrong with Nick
Wedd's usage.

Subject: Re: [computer-go] February KGS bot tournament
English is weird. http://www.answers.com/topic/night says among other
definitions:
1. a. The period between sunset and sunrise, especially the hours of
darkness.
3. a. The period between evening and bedtime.
It seems to me that in the U.S.A. entry 3.a. is the most common meaning, while
I guess Nick meant it in the 1.a. sense.
For further confusion, there is also this one:
4.a. The period between bedtime and morning: spent the night at a motel.

By American night, you really mean very early American morning? I think
midnight start on the west coast and 3am start on the east coast.

Registration is now open for this Sunday's bot tournament. This will
use small boards, 13x13 for the Formal division and 9x9 for the Open. It
will start at 08:00 GMT, and take place in the Asian evening, European
day, and American night.
Note that the time limits will be somewhat faster than those listed

Other aspects of these tournaments (though not their dates) have also
changed.
Registration is as usual as described at
