Note: Daylight Savings Time (DST) - the time has changed 1 hour
Tags: dst, freerolls, timezone.
Posted on 30 October 2011 by "K".

Just a reminder, that today we went back to "winter time", so clocks were set 1 hour back.

www.BankrollMob.com runs in the GMT timezone which does not change, it has the same time all year round. However, our Party Poker leaderboard freerolls now run 1 hour later compared to before, so be sure to check the tournaments to make sure you're aware of the new kick-off times etc.

As for GMT, during winter, if you're in the CET timezone, you would be 1 hour ahead of GMT (ie. GMT+1) and 2 hours ahead during Summer (GMT+2). We recommend World Time Buddy to keep track of the timezone differences.

We in the Uk are back on BRM time ie GMT.

Although I've heard it might be for the last time. The Uk government are trying to change our clocks so we go to european time. The Scots are against it though cos it means their mornings will be darker. So we will see what happens on that score.

In Portugal we have return back one hour, so we slept more during weekend and now everything is ok. I don’t feel much difference with the change of time, but I cant realize why it happens. One thing is to have a 366 year every 4 years – it happens because a day doesn’t have only 24 hours but a little bit more in deed, so we get it right every four years. Now about the clock time… what for?

Us Scots as a whole hate mornings! And sometimes the peek of the sun through the curtains is our motivation to rise out of our pits!! So hopefully out clocks will stay the same

It's called daylight savings. During winter the sun rises later and later and sets earlier so there's less hours of daylight. Someone decided that it was better to have that extra hour of sunlight in the morning rather than at night. I guess it's cos most people go to work in the morning and have the choice of staying in during the evenings. Right now the sun rises in the UK at 7am. If it didn't rise til 8 it would be very dark for the early commuters.
