breloomsleepwalkerESEA may have a bug so double check you match times etc, but storing the match times in UTC is fine. UTC won't change with daylight savings, it's our offset to UTC that changes with daylight savings time.the utc time doens't change
In the summer, the eastern time zone is EDT which has an offset of -4 from UTC. In the winter, the eastern time zone is EST which has an offset of -5 from UTC.
Now, ESEA may have screwed something up, but using UTC is fine. And I agree DST is stupid.
I agree, it doesn't change. It's our offset that changes, which is what I was saying. The offset is the number of hours to subtract from UTC to get your local time.
It does cause the match time to move, which does seem like a nasty bug. I guess the web site needs to have your timezone when you schedule the match, look at the date of the match and use the right offset. This weeks scheduling should have been made with the -5 offset, but it sounds like it was using the -4. It is a little bit of a tricky problem.
