A word of WARNING to all managers:

Make sure you set the time correctly regarding am/pm.

Remember, the PU GE uses a 24 clock.

EG.

00:35 would be 12:35am
02:30 would be 2:30am
07:30 would be 7:30am
12:00 would be 12:00pm
14:45 would be 2:45pm
20:30 would be 8:30pm


Attention ALL managers: Before you accept a PU invite, check that they have set the correct time here (326590.2)

I have also sent all my PU invites except for Round 15...

...as T-Lit discovered, it doesn't let us do it that far ahead. It seems that the Round 15 games can be sent sometime next weel.

Great. thanks for that, Wagner.

So, teams can simply look at the time you have placed in brackets next to their name and make sure every game they schedule is at that time. Easy.

I edited my information posts, and added "Very important:-note to the beginning which addresses the match time "issue" (it's really not an issue, but as a non-native English speaker I'm sometimes not finding the perfect words).

As a practical example, this is how a challenge sent to me by MrJ looked like in my schedule:

2 Wagner College Swan River Serpents
(puolueeton kenttä) 28.4.2025 14.30.00

Number two is about the number of the challenge on the list (I had one other on the list already), and (puolueeton kenttä) means neutral court.

Like you can see, MrJ used 08.30PM when sending me a match invitation/challenge, but on my end it appears as 14.30, or 02.30PM just like it is supposed to be.

Like MrJ noted, it is very important to take into account, that BB uses 24 hour clock. Check out MrJ's post, just above: (324689.638)

Mmm...you've got me thinking, Wagner.

The PU invite from T-Lit showed 7:30pm. So, maybe he did do it correctly but we got the GM wrong? Afterall, you are saying that it should show 'our local time' in the invite? For me, that is 8:30pm. T-Lit's showed 7:30pm.

???

That is strange. You clearly set them at the time Wagner noted...so why are they showing 7:30pm?

Anyway, I agree. I won't withdraw.

Actually, I think it is correct!

Can anyone fault my thinking here please:

So, I am +6 on Wagner's 2:30pm = 8:30pm (my time).
T-Lit is -7 on Wagner's 2:30pm = 7:30am (T-Lit's time)

So, T-Lit's -7 plus my +6 = 13 hours difference. Therefore, 13 hours difference between T-Lit's time and my time.
He issues it at 7:30am, and then if we add 13 hours, this equals 8:30pm (my time) :-)

Mind you, it doesn't explain why it showed up as 7:30pm for me.

I am sure daylight savings has some issues with it... US time is wacky.

Its fine, as long as we are close, there shouldnt be an issue. Lets not change things now. :-)
