Daylight Savings effects - check your start times!
« on: October 11, 2021, 05:28:51 AM »
Just a reminder that Daylight Savings ends on 7 November in the US.  In EU our Daylight Savings ends on 31 October which will affect the start time of Frame 2.  So, Frame 1 will be unaffected.  Frame 2 will be an hour earlier for anyone in EU timezones.  Frames 3 & 4 will then be as normal.  Players in Australia and elsewhere may need to check how any Daylight Savings may affect their times too.    :aok

Battles/Frames:  Daylight Saving Time changes during the event.

October 30 -- 3 pm US Eastern time (7 pm GMT)
November 6 -- 3 pm US Eastern time (7 pm GMT)
November 13 -- 3 pm US Eastern time (8 pm GMT)
November 20 -- 3 pm US Eastern time (8 pm GMT)

IMPORTANT NOTE ON TIME:  Daylight saving time will be changing during the event on different dates in different countries.  Before every frame, check your local time compared to the start time of 3 pm local time in New York, USA.  If you want to use GMT, those are listed above.  Here is a time converter:

If you are outside the US, please check your start times for every frame.

Your country could be changing Daylight Saving Time on a different day than the US.

If you aren't in the US, it means it might be one time for a given frame, then another time for a next frame, then another time for the frame after that.

Beware.
