We'll take off until kind of mid-February and start when we would anyway for the second half.

of the year.

And it's critical for a couple of reasons around the international window.

We're aligned with FIFA now.

And so, you know, sporting is a good example this year.

Like we have a ton of players to sign the winter window, which we just came out of as a challenging window because the rest of the world is mid season.

So it's really hard to get players out during that timeline.

Well, for us, we need players because our season is starting.

We'll get a lot more in the summer window because it makes sense, but we're already mid season, right?

So we align with that.

I think it allows us to have better access to players and, and,

incoming and outgoing.

And I think from a business side, you know, we align our playoffs with, you know, right now, MLS Cup takes place on every college football championship Saturday, you got NFL in full swing, it's hard to break through that time of the year.

Get us in the spring.

We're competing with NBA and NHL at that point, but a lot more flexibility from a playoff standpoint.

For sure.

I mean, listen, no one has any misconceptions that if you're going to go head-to-head with NFL and college football at this point, it's going to be challenging to break through.

So get us out of that.

Get us in the spring window.

I think you'll have a lot better visibility at that point in time.
