I feel like at any rate it could be a good idea to just postpone everything until after we know most people are finished up with exams and whatnot. I know that I'm finished myself, and as are a few other people, but I don't think any larger-scale game is going to get the amount of players it really needs to distinguish itself as such. That and I'm sure it would ease a lot of people up and prevent a bit of burnout (which is something that happened very easily on my home forum, which is why games come around months apart over there).
I don't see much harm in doing so; it doesn't really affect the queue at all other than raw wait times, but even then I'm sure people would appreciate being able to play in as many games as they can over the summer rather than getting screwed out of one or two because we're right at the end of the school year.

Especially since this game features private voting, which is actually something I've never played with myself, but would also love to have a bigger game to get a better idea of how it works out.
