Daylight Savings, Trial times

CMA-Flippi on 2009-03-23 17:54 EST

Once again, Bush's Energy Saving Act from 2005 messes up the time continuum,
which made several tournaments start at the 'wrong' time in the past weeks.

Therefore, I make this post so users (and judges) can see when the Trials should start..

The offical starting time is GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, London, Lisbon)
Mar 25 Wed 7 PM GMT MWS ALA/ALA/ALA/CFX/CFX/CFX Sealed Trial
Mar 26 Thu 7 PM GMT MWS Extended (T1.X) Trial
Mar 27 Fri 8 PM GMT MWS Standard (T2) Trial
Mar 28 Sat 3 PM GMT MWS Vinage (T1) Trial

for countries in CET (Central European Time, Brussels, Berlin, Rome, Madrid), this means Trials start at
Mar 25 Wed 8 PM CET MWS ALA/ALA/ALA/CFX/CFX/CFX Sealed Trial
Mar 26 Thu 8 PM CET MWS Extended (T1.X) Trial
Mar 27 Fri 9 PM CET MWS Standard (T2) Trial
Mar 28 Sat 4 PM CET MWS Vinage (T1) Trial

From March 29 on, the clock on magic-league will work normally again.

If you could just post all trial times in the correct Greenwich time, it seems it would be easier to check the conversion than to check whether the posted times are correct or not.
