Exactly! So, if it is 1:30pm and we are still on the fourth group, then no
fun runs until after the event, if any. However, if we finish group 4 at
11am, then we can't start group 5 for two hours anyway so we might as well
have some fun. That's what I meant and that's how it seemed to work
yesterday.
