The rules are too lax in my opinion, if everyone agree's to a time and someone doesn't show, they forfeit the match. That is how it SHOULD go. Look at many other tournament rules for like any game you can think of, no-shows are a forfeit.
With strict rules, people aren't as likely to blow them off. Plus, you give them too much time to plan, maybe you should shorten the time we have to play a match, it SHOULD not take 2+ weeks. Designate a time the server is open for matches and people will be more likely to make the time needed if they're serious about playing in the tournament.
Also, agreed with time zone groupings, it's pretty frustrating when someone suggests a time thats at very irregular hours.
