It would be big help if someone could translate it for me into the eastern time zone

Eastern Standard Time is GMT -5.
Beijing is GMT+8.

Therefore, it's whaterver Beijing time is minus 13 hours:

Hi Ptichka...

Just to confirm, the times you listed below are Eastern Standard Time? Can't wait for things to get underway!!

Ptchka - Just so I don't have to wrack my brains on this. The Men's Short is 9pm on the 17th. Does that mean it is EST 6am on the 17th or 18th? (I should know this but my head is not working today.)

Joe, Joe, Joe... Men short is at 19, not at 9. On the 24 hour clock that the whole world except for the US uses, that's 7 p.m. (19-12=7). That translates into 6 am EST, same day (19-13=6). Think of it this way - the day starts in the East, and moves West; China is to our East; this means we always have the earlier time than they do.

Doggygirl, yes I gave the times in Eastern Standard.

Thanks Ptchka - As I said my head wasn't working. My whole life was spent on the 24 hour clock but since retirement I've gotten into American ways.

Why the men event is soo early! Well I could wake at 6:00 but that day it's my first day of vacation!! I need my sleep

Actually, I may be wrong but I thought Eastern standard time was GMT -5 hrs, because I believe that central standard time is GMT -6 hrs. (on the forums, GMT -6hrs corresponds to Mexico City/Chicago, which has the same time as Houston. The people on the east coast are one hour ahead.

What we need is a speed course in clock watching

I think one has to give and take l hour depending on WHEN there is a day light savings time.

By the way the difference in time between India and Pakistan is one half hour. You figure.

Ooops, a typo on my part. According to what I've written 6+8=13 I'll correct it right away. At least the times I've states are correct.

Rushdie makes fun of this very effectively in Midnight Children.

I'll be getting off work at 7 a.m. so I guess I will be up a little longer! Have to get the ladies results and the mens (not so interested in dance or pairs).
