Even though the article might not be useful to anyone at all, especially since it's possible to change the display time in most poker clients, there are some mistakes in this article: http://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/mtt/1860/1/

Let's talk first about the concept of time zone. They all revolve around Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), so any local time can be translated as "GMT +/- x", where x is the difference in hours (up to 12).

It's actually 14 hours since some countries to choose to be on the other side of the date line. If you click on the map, you will see the number 14 displayed on Kiribati, all the way to the left.

Furthermore, in Europe, daylight savings time is called summer time and the correct abbreviation for Central European Daylight Savings Time is CEST (Central European Summer Time), not CEDT.
