Apologies, I didn't read the thread properly... many players can't make Saturday. That is a dilemma. Hmmmmmm.....
Next Sunday is Easter, but what about Jann's proposal of 7pm GMT on Saturday 15th April? That works for me.
@FischyVishy, let me know if you need help sending out the invites. We can each take half. Maybe I can write up a script to auto-send.
I like April 15 as well
I'll be traveling for the holiday and unable to play even on the 15th, but you shouldn't reschedule for one player.
The fairest thing to have done was probably to pick a date and time without input from the players, announce it, and stick to it regardless of who can't play. That way nobody is favored over anybody else in terms of scheduling. In principle, if it's an open tournament, I don't necessarily agree that the stronger players should get a greater say in when it takes place.

@Flourish That's very kind of you, but I am committed to organizing this event by myself. Thanks a lot, though!
@Atrophied I completely agree. This event will be scheduled for April 15 (I'm glad that suits you, @penguingim1 !). It's hard to cater to everyone's needs!

@FischyVishy so what's the official time for the tourney?
The official time for the tournament will be Saturday 6 PM GMT. Best of luck to all participants!
Guys it seems like I'm banned from sending PMs after I've sent about 30 PMs. Can anyone help me out with the invitations? Please! Respond ASAP.
I've sent these invites to the first 30 players on this list (excluding people who've already qualified): en.lichess.org/player/top/200/crazyhouse
Here's the message I'm sending:
"Hello X
Because chickencrossroad decided to withdraw from the Candidates round of the Crazyhouse World Championship, you have the chance to take his place in the Candidates round of the CWC! All you have to do is play a two-hour long crazyhouse tournament on Saturday at 6 PM GMT. The first- and second-place finishers of this tournament will play a ten-game match (as per the rules here: sites.google.com/site/crazyhouseworldchampionship/rules) to decide who will get the spot in the Candidates round! The time control will be 3 + 0 and berserking is allowed.
Best of luck!"
