Timing issue (in real life I even have problems meeting friends for a coffee, how likely is it that users in online leagues find the right time to meet and play?)

Not sure how this might work with game engine and data sharing, but if online leagues are watching games broadcast live now (read that on thread somewhere) might it be possible to have a league establish a daily sim date/time and participants could log in to manage their respective teams? Users would know when they needed to be present and could participate as each days games occurred. If someone was not able to attend, the AI could handle managing their team. Could establish time limits per game to ensure things move along within the dedicated window. Might also allow opportunities for increased league dialogue through potential chat windows during the live sim.
Just a thought...
