We're currently in advanced planning mode for Unicon, and are planning on expanding to three days from the current two days, starting on the Friday.
Which timetable do people prefer?
Rego: Friday 10:00am to 12:30pm
Session A: Friday 1:00pm to 3:30pm
Session B: Friday 4:00pm to 6:30pm
Session C: Friday 7:30pm to 10:00pm
Session D: Saturday 10:00am to 12:30pm
Session E: Saturday 1:00pm to 3:30pm
Session F: Saturday 4:00pm to 6:30pm
Session G: Saturday 7:30pm to 10:00pm
Session H: Sunday 10:00am to 12:30pm * (Daylight Savings Begins)
Session I: Sunday 1:00pm to 3:30pm
Session J: Sunday 4:00pm to 6:30pm
or

Session H: Sunday 1:00pm to 3:30pm
Session I: Sunday 4:00pm to 6:30pm
Of course, that's assuming a standard (for Unicon) 2.5 hour session. If we expand out to 3 hour sessions like the other conventions, then the days sessions would be:
1: 9:00am to 12:00pm
2: 12:30pm to 3:30pm
3: 4:00pm to 7:00pm
4: either 7:30pm to 10:30pm or 8:00pm to 11:00pm
What are peoples thoughts on the matter?

If you go back to 3 hrs sessions, lose the break at 3.30-4...
At Arc (which doesn't have the break) I hate running in that third session of the day because there's no break. If the game before runs late (which usually does) you're then rushing to the session without really having the time to get your head into the right head-space.
Even as a player I find that a problem.
The really late end to the night makes it difficult to get home anyway but by car, and even then if you have a lot of events on you can end up leaving the con at 11.15, getting home after midnight... and then having to be up less than 7 hours later to get back to the con. I'd rather have 30 mins more sleep than 10 minutes of extra time to get from session to session and then 20 minutes of sitting and waiting for things to get going again. I find I lose momentum.
ymmv, clearly :)
