Time Zone Collaboration

Here's a collaboration of all of the time zones relative to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

Hopefully it'll help with planning and doing certain events with players from accross the globe - without the nonsense of having to go to another site to find the infomation.

Code has now been added!

CNTCanada Newfoundland TimeGMT - 3:30
AGTArgentina Standard TimeGMT - 3:00
BETBrazil Eastern TimeGMT - 3:00
CATCentral African TimeGMT - 1:00


Here's the code for the table, if you would ever need it.



Daylight Saving:

For the countries in blue in this map - daylight saving is used. This means that in Summer Time, the clocks are put forward 1 hour in response to it getting darker earlier.

This would mean that in Summer Time, your area would be an extra 1:00 ahead of what it would normally be.

Approximately 70 countries utilize Daylight Saving Time in at least a portion of the country. They all save one hour in the summer and change their clocks some time between midnight and 3:00 a.m.



Credit for the idea to include Daylight Saving goes to Mallet

That is cool. I will bookmark that, but is it just me or is your thread really glitchy?

Yeah it was becuase I tried to include the code in a spoiler - which didn't work.

The problem is fixed now but it just means you won't have easy access to the code.
If someone could give me a pointer on how to add the code in a spoiler, I'd be grateful.

Very, very nice. The coding would have taken ages.

This is very useful for myself and I'm sure TGIF hosts will be greatly appreciative of this also.

I've found this site: Time Zone Converter
To be of help in the past. It even remembers your setting so for instance if there is a map test at 2pm EST on the 3rd I can check that to see what it is for me, and then a couple of days later load the site again to check a test for 6pm EST on the fourth.

Works great when thread posters in the Tester's Guild follow the rules and post using the one Time Zone.
Always blow on the pie.
