I've seen the final score of my U-21's match at 17.45PM ... so 15 minuts before the match.

is this perhaps because the clock on the page is synced to your local clock, but the time on the schedule page is relative to boston time and because time is temporarily out of sync due to daylights savings that the game actually happened an hour earlier than you expected?

even if this is the case clearly we should have a better solution for this...

but come to think of it, i think the time on the page comes from the webserver time.. but I'm not positive... or maybe the time does, and then we simply shift it relative to your time zone which comes from your local setting, but the time zone shift doesn't reflect this daylights savings difference.

stupid time.. cant the whole world just run on one clock?

so it could have been up there 30 minutes before too and you wouldnt be sure.

i will ask the rest of the BBs what is up with the page clock versus the schedule clock and whether DST could be affecting the sync.

It has happened (to me) before that match results were visible shortly before the match starts, i.e. roundabout the time of their calculation.

At that time the result is indeed fix and calculated. Matches are being calculated before they start. So while there is nothing wrong with that it is indeed irritating to actually see the result.

When I - ages ago - posted this phanomenon it was considered to be a presentational error. It should not be news to BB or GM that this can happen - unless this semi-feature had been repared in between.

Edit: spelling

i guess I thought it was fixed since that report was so long ago... i suppose it is not now. More reports of it happening would be useful to try to isolate the conditions underwhich it occurs.

It hasn't occured to me since then - unfortunately.

I did sometimes try to get the results before the match by reloading the page... ;-)
