What time is the shootout? very unclear.
« on: May 03, 2003, 02:23:55 PM »
Great Britain is on BST right now which is GMT +1.  Europe is on CET which is GMT +2 or BST +1.  Now I'm absolutely positive that EDT is CET -6 so by that logic the shootout is at midnight in Europe......but the announcement says 10pm GMT (assuming Pyro means in Great Britain.....which isnt on GMT right now anyway) so that would be 11pm CET.

See why I'm confused?


Had a damn good look at MS time zone co-ordinator and it seems that Bill Gates also doesnt know the difference between GMT and BST so no help there.


Tell ya what, someone gimme a holla 10 mins before start, I'll be in the MA.

Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why

That would be OK if we were on GMT right now - but we are on BST which is GMT+1 - so to say all times are GMT is in fact incorrect.  :)
