European members - tournament times will be different!

#1 8th March 2009, 1:41 PM

Please remember that time has changed by an hour in the USA, but doesn't change in Europe for another three weeks! This means that if you had to add five hours to the EST time of a tournament yesterday (e.g. the 1pm EST Saturday Full Tilt freeroll was at 6pm UK time yesterday), then today and for the next three weeks you would only need to add 4 hours.

Cheers for the heads up
Being one that likes to turn up around 5 mins before the start its handy to know that 5 mins is not early enough for a while

Thanks for this advice. I nearly got got out earlier and only caught the start of a tourney because I was at my laptop and it popped up in front of me.

Back to normal now!

It gets so confusing with all the time changes. Wouldn't it be easier if the American and European poker sites just switched to UK time?

Lol.

Been saying for years, why don't they just add half an hour and then leave the thing alone!

No more hunting all the watches, clocks timers etc... twice a year. Never mind losing an hours sleep...I lose an hour hunting and changing all the flaming clocks!!! lol

I started the thread on 8th Mar, today is 29th March, and (in England at least) three weeks is twenty one days.

What exactly are you querying

I guess Karadzic doesn't realise America's Daylight saving time kicked in 3 weeks ago.

Missed a load of games because of it. ('cause I'm too lazy to alter my calander settings Lol) but like you said, back to normal now

Which was actually the whole point of starting the thread in the first place...
