Siegmund Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Are the dates going to be semi-regularly "every two weeks", or is it a bit sporadic, sometimes weekly sometimes two or three or more weeks apart? (I happen to be on a schedule where half my weekends work better than my others, and if it stays every-other-week, my next chance to try will be mid-december (but the 1st and 15th both would have been great.)

barmar Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Those who deal with people from other countries should always state times in terms of GMT. It really annoys me when people say a time in some random time zone and others are supposed to do research to find out what it means.Many people probably don't know their offset from GMT, either, so they'll have to do research regardless. In the US, I'll bet far more people know their offset from Eastern Time and Pacific Time than from GMT. The JEC matches always start at consistent times in Eastern Time (2pm and 7pm), but the GMT start times will vary depending on whether the US is in Standard or Daylight Savings Time.

gwnn Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I bet you are wrong from an European point of view.I bet he's not! I think most people have no idea that GMT does not change with daylight saving time. In the summer I always ask just in case. Iceland is one of the real GMT countries BTW.

mgoetze Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Iceland is one of the real GMT countries BTW. Wow and I thought they were otherwise quite modern and up-to-date. Note that GMT is deprecated. It is the same as UTC give or take a few leap seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEC is playing against Wales on September 15th and 29th, so we are only playing them twice this month (8th and 22nd). Then in October we can either resume weekly play or continue the biweekly rythm. I would like to invite further comments on this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Wow and I thought they were otherwise quite modern and up-to-date.They don't have a train system so they can afford to miss a few leap seconds here and there. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
