Question about lightning rounds

Unknown
edited May 2014 in MPQ Tips and Guides
Hello guys, I've got a simple question that I didn't see answered in the FAQ topics, how do I know when a lightning round starts? Is there a notification or anything, or do I have to check every couple of hours in order to miss none of them?

    Each one lasts 90 minutes, and there's 30 minutes in between, so if you see one in progress, you can figure out the rest of the schedule. The login notification will tell you in general what days they're scheduled.
  • I know they last 90 minutes and that the system notifies you a bit sooner, but how do I figure out when they actually occur? Is it the same time everyday?

    They start every two hours. Typically the first one starts on Tuesday at noon ET.
  • I still don't get it. They start at Tuesday noon, and for how long do they go on? For example, there isn't one right now available.
