CCT12 time

[Andres Valverde]

Hi,

From the CCT12 page :

Round Times: Saturday: 7:00am 9:00am 11:00am 1:00pm 3:00pm

Are those FICS server times or UTC+1 times ?

UTC +1 times.

I live in UTC-7, so 7 am tournament time is 11pm locally.

Hi Peter,

Can you confirm these times in GMt please?

I dont want to miss a round or be late for start:)

Kind Regards

GMT = UTC.

Therefore UTC+1 times:

Round Times: Saturday: 7:00am 9:00am 11:00am 1:00pm 3:00pm
Sunday: 7:00am 9:00am 11:00am 1:00pm

Become one hour less in GMT:

Round Times: Saturday: 6:00am 8:00am 10:00am 12:00 2:00pm
Sunday: 6:00am 8:00am 10:00am 12:00

So an early start in tz GMT.

It would be quite helpful to also post the time here and on the CCT12 web page for the first round as FICS "server time",
then anyone can just log in and confirm their local time relative to the server "date" command (PST).

Thank you,

Currently for me the server time shown on FICS is

Server time - Sun Feb 14, 08:17 PST 2010

So that is 8 hrs behind UTC (and GMT) which makes the CCT12 round start times in FICS server time:

Round Times: Saturday: 10:00pm 12:00 2:00am 4:00am 6:00am
Sunday: 10:00pm 12:00 2:00am 4:00am

or more concisely written:

Round Times: Saturday: 22:00 00:00 02:00 04:00 06:00
Sunday: 22:00 00:00 02:00 04:00

I just changed the website to the following information:

Round Times:
Legend 24 Hr Clock: UTC+1 Time(FICS PST Time) PST is -9 hours from GMT/UTC+1))

Saturday: 0700(2200) 0900(0000) 1100(0200) 1300(0400) 1500(0600)
Sunday: 0700(2200) 0900(0000) 1100(0200) 1300(0400)
Blitz Tournament to follow regular event (Click on link to left for information)
Please be sure to check for time zone differences!
Time zone for tournament day will be UTC+1 (FICS "Date" Command is PST)

I assume it is simply your intention to confuse anyone interested. If you really wanted to be clear about the time you would have just given the time in UTC/GMT without the confusing +1 factor. Next time you could give the start times in Nepal time if you really want to confuse everyone.

hi, majority is living at CET, central european time.

Which is GMT+1.

So we're playing from 11 PM to 6 AM CET i just read?

Which is an amazing development as both FICS as well as ICC used
to be hosted in Pittsburg and both had for quite a while New York time
which is CET-6

That's really not in the interest of the majority and the last Australian/New Zealandian programmers also have left the 'ship' of computerchess a long while ago regrettably.

No, 2200 PST time is 0700 CET (Or GMT+1).

I will make the changes to the website to only reflect the GMT+1 times.
