US Daylight Savings time change
« on: March 15, 2016, 12:11:07 pm »

Just a heads up to any players in a group that has US timezones mixed with non-US timezones that US times moved forward 1 hour 2 days ago on Sunday the 13th.  When you are scheduling your matches this last week, note that any US timezones (other than Arizona) are +1 from what you see in your group thread.

P.S.

This is slightly more heinous than I originally thought. For those who have been leaning on the forum time feature to convert times for you. This is managed with a simple hour offset from forum time in your user profile.  If you live outside the US (or inside Arizona), your forum time is off by an hour now if you have not already updated it. (Also, if you do update it, you will have to update again if you have your own DST change coming soon.)

For reference, Europe is changing its clocks forwards on 27 March.

Yes. This came up on my Monday match. You can type a time like "21:00 UTC" into google to get the corresponding time in your region.

This is why I always use UTC for anything that involves more than one TZ.

Also, man, fuck Daylight Saving Time.

Pinging this thread.
Please note that daylight savings is happening again during March and it's still on different days for different parts of the world (Europe March 26th, USA March 12th), so please double check times this season in case you're playing with someone from another part of the world.
