Since CWF is now every two weeks I propose that the preliminaries be held on one week using only one hour a day for for four days. Then the elimination rounds are held on the next week. First round split over two days and the 2nd and final round on the two days after that.

This means that the difference between the end time for the 'western' most time to the start time for the eastern most timezone is cut by an hour. For example, today in the US servers GWF starts at 10 PM Eastern - 7 PM western and ends at midnight Eastern - 9 pm Western. By cutting the duration to an hour and keeping the same start time the end time would be 11 PM Eastern - 8 pm Western.
NO!
The main complaint for west coast servers involves guild wars starting at the same time as championship warfare. Now you want to exacerbate the problem, and ONLY run Championship warfare in the same hour as guild wars. This does not help players on the west coast at all, and places us at a much more severe disadvantage.
