MrJ:
Actually, I think it is correct!

Can anyone fault my thinking here please:

So, I am +6 on Wagner's 2:30pm = 8:30pm (my time).
T-Lit is -7 on Wagner's 2:30pm = 7:30am (T-Lit's time)

So, T-Lit's -7 plus my +6 = 13 hours difference. Therefore, 13 hours difference between T-Lit's time and my time.
He issues it at 7:30am, and then if we add 13 hours, this equals 8:30pm (my time) :-)

Mind you, it doesn't explain why it showed up as 7:30pm for me. :/


Wagner:
Yes, the first part is correct, 13 hours.
The latter, as you mentioned, not so much.
I wonder if it's a thing with Daylight Savings Time, as T-lit mentioned. For me for instance official BB league matches show up as starting 15.30, 3.30PM now for a while, before we again start utilizing DST in Finland, and then for the half year or so show to be starting at 4.30PM.
However, it doesn't explain why Gccsteel's challenge shows being played at 8.30PM, and T-Lits' at 7.30PM. Any theories/solutions? Others might be affected too.

Only explanation of some sort I might come up with, is that if BB has some kind of automatic, IP based location finder in use, and it sees that one is not in his typical "home location", and changes match times to reflect that. It's a far fetched theory, but only I could come up with right now (that even might explain differences between T-Lit and Gccsteel, if either of them is not currently located at time zone GMT/UTC-5).

The next "explanation" I could come up with, is the only difference I found, MrJ.
You challenged HCH, (you are for practical/necessary purposes a home team, but on neutral court), and time shows up in your shedule being 20.30, so 8.30PM.

T-Lit challenged you, (you are for practical/necessary purposes an away team, but on neutral court), and time shows up in your schedule being 19.30, so 7.30PM. (If it shows up as 7.30PM and not 7.30AM??).

I'm not sure at all why this should explain anything, but again given that T-Lit and Gccsteel actually have told us to reside at that ET time zone (GMT-5), that's the only difference that I have found (who is the challenger team). So that's another, even theoretically half-possible explanation. But still waiting for better explanations from all you, if you can come up with more reasonable explanation, that actually makes sense.

I am sure daylight savings has some issues with it... US time is wacky.

Its fine, as long as we are close, there shouldnt be an issue. Lets not change things now. :-)


Agreed.

Was it 7.30AM or 7.30PM how match against T-Lit shows up in your team schedule?

Hi,

thank you for your effort during last days.
I will prepare my intvitations this week.

@all HGL managers:
Thank you to all who have confirmed they have sent all their challenges, and to whom have been more or less silent lately but now commented something here on the forum.

Please don't forget the all important part: to confirm you actually see all 15 HGL matches in your "regular" Buzzerbeater league schedule! Yes, this might take several days, as not all managers login daily and therefore accepting your challenge might take some time.
In other words, process is not completed, until you see all 15 matches in your BB team schedule (a schedule, where you see all your BB matches, not HGL schedule).

If you are about to organize your HGL regular season matches, please read this important post first: (326589.2).

Please note, that you are not able to organize Round 15 matches (on May 26) just yet, but we will get that round sorted out later (next week), so after reading that information article I linked in this post you are free to start organizing your matches!

I didn't realize it's been that many! If we keep up the same pace in official HGL thread, I'm going to have to establish a new official HGL thread already during Season 1 - that would be something xD

I suppose you already already sent invitations to PU matches (?) so this might reach you a bit late, but I hope you (and everyone else involved in this process) will read these important instructions before they start sending and accepting invitations: (326589.2).
