Just that i was curious,about Beejay's last recordings,i went to check the date of them. And to my surprise came when i saw his Pang recording,its recorded at 1 of october, thats 1 day late. I think it would be the best to check if that recording has the same placement as his pang recording before.

Just my opinion.

Remember Stig, that BeeJay lives in New Zealand. That would be GMT +12, thus making his recording valid. His local time stamp is 1133 on 10/1/99 which would be 2333 on 9/30/99 GMT. Hope that clears things up. ;)

Why not to adopt the "Swatch Internet Time" for the next Tournament !?!

For those who never heard about, it'is a simpler timing scale, based on GMT, but in which the 24 hours have been shared in 1000 units (bits, or beats). The idea is to have a unique time , regardless of the time fuse.

An example!? I have it open on my desktop, and it's 448. Well....if any of you (is UK, US, NZ) has it, for everyone it's 448 as well, regardless of the "real" time !!!

I think it could make things easier.

BeeJay posted his score to this board about 5 minutes before midnight GMT, so that's just fine.

I never saw Swatch time before - you can find it here:

It seems to be about an hour ahead of GMT, which is probably because Swatch are Swiss, and Switzerland is a little East of Grenwich... But what the heck - let's us it for T2.

To Zwaxy: I thought the Internet Swatch Time was based on GMT, but I think instead is based on CET (GMT+1). In fact, now we have here a "Summer Time" (shifted 1 hour ahead), but when it goes back to normal time, noon will coincide with 500 beats.

You see....I'm almost getting confused myself.... if I say it's 491....much easier, uh!?! Happy you like my idea....

Stig,

It was indeed recorded before 23:59 GMT due to New Zealand being +12 hours on GMT when I recorded it. As we swapped over to daylight saving time this weekend just gone we are now +13 hours on GMT.

In any case, my leaderboard points were unchanged with this recording - other than it protected me a little more against another upload beating me.

BeeJay.
