Attention: Daylight Saving Time Changes
Europe is switching to Winter Time on Sunday October 30, but the United States will do so one week after, on November 6. How will this impact the tournaments running between October 30 and November 6? Find out below.
All but three poker rooms are using Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT) or Central European Time (CET). This means that they are switching to Winter Time on Sunday, October 30.
Poker rooms using the Eastern Time (ET) will switch to Winter Time on Sunday, November 6. These poker rooms are:
• PokerStars
• PartyPoker
• Cake Poker
Let's say we have a tournament starting at 16:00 GMT. Here's how the starting time will look like:
| Tournament Time | Time (ET) | Time (GMT) | Time (CET) |
| Before October 30 | 12:00 | 16:00 | 18:00 |
| Between October 30 - November 6 | 12:00 | 16:00 | 17:00 |
| After November 6 | 11:00 | 16:00 | 17:00 |
