No time change?

  Does WGT observe DST or is everyone's new day on WGT starting an hour earlier than yesterday? Except AZ and HI.  Can I count on it being off until next spring or will they randomly decided to adjust? :)

  No biggie today, but my CC missed on my 2500 daily bonus. Creature of habit that I am, never thought to look at the WGT clock.

  WGT stays the same.  The rest of us change, so yeah, every six months thereabouts the “new day” changes, the Clash start changes, and new video time changes.

  If you use other apps that depend on time of day, the same thing happens, BTW.

  Depends at which clock you're looking at - there are three, unless they changed recently.

  1) is the forum and tournament clock, running on PT / PDT, right out of San Francisco.

  2) is the CDP bonus clock, running on UTC = GMT = Zulu time. It doesn't change, but the DST flips may be disturbing - especially in the Americas.

  This may have caused your bonus mishap.

  3) is your local time, which comes into play in CC tournaments. If one starts on 6:54 h of your local time, it will finish on 6:54 h the other day. For someone in a different time zone, the time will be different - adapted.

  These are the three different reset times I keep in mind as a West Coaster :

  1. Tournament Reset : 12:00 am | 1:00 am (Summer)* every Monday for weekly & the 1st day of the month for monthly (* I've noticed that often times, this gets delayed depending on how well preparation things go for WGT so it may not happen exactly on the said time.)
  2. Free Credit Reset : 11:00 am | 12:00 pm (Summer) every day
  3. CDP Reset : 4:00 pm | 5:00 pm (Summer) every day 

  Now please don't ask me why they have three different reset times instead of one since I've been asking myself the very same question. WGT runs things in a very... ummm... unique way.

  ⇩ EDIT : Ouch, that's harsh, PG! LOL ⇩
