Daylight Savings Time Reminder

Date October 21, 2013

Winter time starts this Sunday

All countries that observe Daylight Saving Time will be winding their clocks back one hour in the morning of this Sunday, October 27th.

If you live in a country that does not observe Daylight Savings Time, then from this Sunday onwards, you will be playing one hour later than before.

Any ETF2L dates scheduled to October 27th or later are automatically translated from CEST to CET (-1 hour). Please keep this in mind when proposing dates to this Sunday or later – your proposed date will be treated as CEST and reduced by 1 hour after submitting.

We recommend clarifying the exact time in match comments to prevent misunderstandings.

To summarize:

  • If you want to play at 21:00 CEST on Saturday, October 26th or earlier, enter 21:00 when submitting the proposal.
  • If you want to play at 21:00 CET on Sunday, October 27th or later and submit the proposal before the switch to Winter time, enter 22:00 when submitting the proposal.
  • If you want to play at 21:00 CET on Sunday, October 27th or later and submit the proposal after the switch to Winter time, enter 21:00 when submitting the proposal.

    You probably meant “one hour later”?
    Cause like, in Russia there’s no clock winding nowadays, so in summer 8 PM CEST = 10 PM Russian time, and in winter it’s 11 PM Russian time. 1h later.
