Now you're taxing me (hey, my wife is the mathematics prof of the family - I need both my hands to count to 4 downs).

Colts: 1300 AEST  =  Fri 1900 PST, Fri 2100 CST, Fri 2200 EST  (and for those in Europe 0400 CET)
Ladies: 1530 AEST  =  Fri 2130 PST, Fri 2330 CST, Sat 0030 EST, Sat 0630 CET
Sunbowl: 1800 AEST  =  Sat 0000 PST, Sat 0200 CST, Sat 0300 EST, Sat 0900 CET

Definitely not prime time viewing for US folk.

Woke up at 0400 this morning (flew in from a different timezone yesterday and worked an LFL scrimmage last night), too full of adrenaline to get back to sleep - I'm working R in the Sunbowl, and have my crew pre-game at 1100 since I'm filling in at HL in the Ladies right before after another official did his achilles leading up to the game.  Only worked HL once this season, so definitely rusty.

Everyone's a bit more nervous than usual - first time for many things - first livestream, first time with a replay booth (although no coaches challenges, since our coaches aren't familiar with the process, first time we have a nationally televised game (albeit delayed).

And oh - if anyone is watching and thinks the field looks odd, it's not your eyes.  Because we're at a Rugby stadium, the field is 10 yards shorter than we need, so we run a 90 yard field in these situations - and the 45 is the half way line.  The 45 is still marked "50" though, so it goes  G--5--10--15--20--25--30--35--40--50--40--35 ...--G.  You always have to double check penalties around half way!
