Just Looked at the tournamnets on Stars today and the times havn't changed although the clocks have obviously gone back for BST today.
So 5pm $11 Deep Stack started at 4pm instead, which meant I missed it, as it never occurred to me they wouldn't switch the starting time with the clocks. Does this mean every tournament is going to start an hour earlier for the next 6 months until the clocks go forward again, or are they going to change the times at some point?
I'm new to online poker so don't know this.

The times don't switch in the US until next weekend - and they go by ET. There is a message when you log in that tells you how they are handling it.

I can't find it, but what I remember reading was that during the time between when the U.S. changes time (Sunday) and Europe changes, they will be running the big regularly scheduled tournaments offset by 30 minutes.
That is, a weekly 8:00 game would run at 8:30 to give people unaware of the change a little time to catch on.
