But yeah, the KST time gets a bit annoying. I just have to look at the "Time Remaining" to actually tell when its supposed to start. | ||

why dont you just make the time variable so it changes for every user depending on his timezone settings (add it to your cms etc), like for example on esreality iirc, then there's no need for polling and no more annoying weird times. | ||

While we have some good data about our registered users who have selected their time zone, the majority of TL visitors are guests so we don't have any information about them. The sidebar poll is usable by both guests and registered users, so we hope it will paint a clearer picture of what time zones our visitors are from. Javascript and alway convert timezones into localtime unless the user specifies a specific one in his profile? Would be nice  | ||

Yes think this works the best. Whould be great to see every Tourment in your own time zone. Or do i miss somthing know ? | ||

Naming something "Central Time" is just over the top silly. | ||

You should be able to determine your user distribution in timezones based on the ip addresses. If count each time a IP makes a http session, and convert that to a country based on the ip. it should be fairly accurate. | ||

 Btw maybe you could include more clocks on the top right corner of the site. It would make live so much easier at times (mostly when there is some American tourney who doesn't include european time). Gosugamers and some other sites do this already. Quite helpful actually. | ||

I'm EST, but I think CET would a nice compromise to display on the site. It has a plurality of users thing going for it too. | ||
