as others have stated, wait til the FA begins. Hit it hard. Everyone should be extending fights as far out as they can possibly reach. This is the week you really have to plan a big push from all of your peeps. And your higher level members should definitely be using the timewarp and bears to shorten time and still get all the rounds in.
I was up early thursday, did first round as soon as FA was open. Came back later for round two, and finished the day with round 3. Friday was rounds 4-5, saturday round 6.
