Vampyr Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Playing in a sexshunal Saturday.Wow that sounds WAY more exciting than bridge! I would perhaps like to play sometime, but the game time is a bit opaque to me. It would be nice if it could be expressed in GMT -- that way everyone will know what time it is in their time zone.

It would be nice if it could be expressed in GMT -- that way everyone will know what time it is in their time zone. It's 7PM GMT. I can't make any commitments myself since I'm playing in a congress tomorrow afternoon and don't know how I'm going to get home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't make any commitments myself since I'm playing in a congress tomorrow afternoon and don't know how I'm going to get home!If the 8 PM CET were correct, then it would indeed be 7 PM UTC. However, it is actually at 8 PM CEST, 7 PM CET, 6 PM UTC, and, most pertinently to people like Vampyr who think they are on GMT but aren't, 7 PM BST.

LOLOL In every country I have lived in (and many I have visited) I may not know exactly what time it is in other parts of the world, but I do know my relationship to GMT. And this is something that everyone knows, even if they know nothing else about their time zone, which is why it would be convenient if the time in GMT/UTC is given.

Phil Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Wow that sounds WAY more exciting than bridge! Haha. Just a local tourney. Generally more low key than regionals but not as social as NABCs since nearly everyone travels to those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Lost by 78-72. We (nullve&gwnn) missed two slams unfortunately and JEC had a nice 27-0 streak that not even diana's funny psyche (inducing a misunderstanding about S's pass) on board 28 couldn't fully counterbalance. :) [hv=http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?bbo=y&lin=pn|jec,diana_eva,sillafu,Gerardo|st%7C%7Cmd%7C2S234TQKH7ADTJKC25%2CS79H3569D578C678A%2CS58JHTJQKD34QC9JK%2C%7Crh%7C%7Cah%7CBoard%2028%7Csv%7Cn%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C1C%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C1S%7Cmb%7Cd%7Cmb%7Cr%7Cmb%7C2D%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cpc%7CSK%7Cpc%7CS7%7Cpc%7CS8%7Cpc%7CSA%7Cpc%7CC3%7Cpc%7CC2%7Cpc%7CCA%7Cpc%7CC9%7Cpc%7CC6%7Cpc%7CCK%7Cpc%7CC4%7Cpc%7CC5%7Cpc%7CHK%7Cpc%7CH2%7Cpc%7CH7%7Cpc%7CH3%7Cpc%7CHT%7Cpc%7CH4%7Cpc%7CHA%7Cpc%7CH5%7Cpc%7CSQ%7Cpc%7CS9%7Cpc%7CS5%7Cpc%7CS6%7Cpc%7CS3%7Cpc%7CD5%7Cpc%7CSJ%7Cpc%7CH8%7Cpc%7CD7%7Cpc%7CD3%7Cpc%7CD2%7Cpc%7CDT%7Cpc%7CS2%7Cpc%7CD8%7Cpc%7CCJ%7Cpc%7CCT%7Cpc%7CH6%7Cpc%7CHQ%7Cpc%7CD6%7Cpc%7CDJ%7Cpc%7CDK%7Cpc%7CC7%7Cpc%7CD4%7Cpc%7CDA%7Cpc%7CCQ%7Cpc%7CS4%7Cpc%7CC8%7Cpc%7CDQ%7Cpc%7CHJ%7Cpc%7CD9%7Cpc%7CST%7Cpc%7CH9%7C]400|300[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
