Our races are at 22:40 which is 6:40 eastern.  Over sea's dave light saving is this saturday coming up at 2.  So that would move our races to 7:40. however we want to keep 6:40.

 So i would move our From 22:40 to 21:40 correct???

clocks going forward an hour meaning if it was 1am in the UK on 31st of march 2013 then it would instead be 2am or in europe when it hit 2am it would be 3am instead, in order to give the end of the day an extra hour.

i understand the USA does it differently (even 1 state and a few overseas states dont practice it) and other countries used to practice or never practiced the DST settings. so there will be some confusion. the answer simple is that your timing is for dst in autumn where the clocks go back, you are out by 2 hours.

so 22:40 it would be 23:40 instead, so just shift back the race time by an hour back to 22:40. in the USA along the eastern seaboard 4 hours behind it would be 19:40 instead and they set their clocks forward a few weeks ago, otherwise it would be 18:40 which is not the case.

Actually, I'm fairly sure that the server runs on GMT/UTC (Greenwich Mean Time/Universal Coordinated Time), which does not observe Daylight Savings. I don't think you have to change the race times at all.

Servers are indeed ran in GMT/UTC Time. Moving your Races back an hour would be recommended and done yesterday to allow the 24 hour grace period to pass without effecting Saturday's race but would take an immediate effect on the Sunday races.

To continue racing at 6:40 PM your league needs to be set to race at 22:40 server time.

So if my league admin pushed the time back on hour for BST, it wouldn't work on today's race?
