Here's how rescheduling works:
You enter: 3/20 (Fri) 9am, Reschedule: Weekly, Friday
- First announcement says 3/20 (Fri) 9am
- Next announcement says 3/27 (Fri) 9am
- Next announcement says 4/3 (Fri) 9am
You enter 3/25 (Wed) 9am, Reschedule: Weekly, Friday
- First announcement says 3/25 (Wed) 9am
- Next announcement says 3/27 (Fri) 9am
- Next announcement says 4/3 (Fri) 9am
The first announcement is always on the date you entered. Any following announcements will be based on the day of the week selected.
Each next announcement will be posted X hours after the date/time of the current announcement, where X is the duration of the game. If no duration is entered, it defaults to 0 hours.
