What exactly is EDT time

crystalf308

Okay I am so confused. What is EDT time exactly? Also what is am or pm when neither is posted with a time under this standard? I ve looked and ultimately ended up worse confused. Basically I am attempting to convert the time for the all star calender into my locations time. Please help me understand this since it's so very important.... I am in a southern US state and really am very lost on figuring the starting and ending time to the final knockout rounds. Thanks so much in advance for any help to understand this. Happy playing to everyone! Good luck!

Eastern Daylight Time. Which is different from EST (Eastern Standard Time). Don't quote me on this, but I think the reason for the difference is because some places in the Eastern part still follow (EDT) & some don't anymore (EST). PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm just going by mostly what seems logical to me. I didn't Google it 🙂

As for figuring out when to start, "current time in Eastern USA". You can compare the time it says it currently is out East compared to YOUR current time. For instance, 1ST ROUND KNOCKOUTS starts at 9am Eastern. I'm one hour behind them(I'm in Central Canada), so it starts at 8am for me. While that means others get a headstart over me, that also means I get a headstart over others as well!

I've included a copy of my last screenshot for dates & start/end times below.

BTW...It always starts at 9am & ends at 3am Eastern Time, of course 🙂

Happy Playing & wishing good luck to you as well here from 🇨🇦🥰❤️
