The time of the Monthly Automated Tournament (MAT) is, according to the official website:

17.00 GMT

However, according to the tournament npc in game (who gives you the time according to your timezone) the start time is 18.00 my time (UK)

Now, at first you could think this is because of BST having an affect, and it is 18.00 BST, which is also 17.00 GMT.

However, according to the official website the time for, as an example, the friday evening (UK) AT is 22.00 GMT. But, the tournament starts at 22.00 BST everytime. I have played in this tournament at this time, so I know this to be the case.

The same was the case for last MAT, with it starting at 16.00 UK time (BST) even though it says 16.00 GMT on the official website.

Therefore, there is a discrepancy. Either, the AT starts at 17.00 current UK time which would continue on from the way that the time works for the normal daily ATs as the time is states is based upon the time that Britain is currently working under, this means that the ingame npc is currently wrong. Or, the website is incorrect for this month, and this monthly AT is 2 hours later than the previous one, which is strange. This would mean that the website is incorrect.

I know it is a bit complicated with the time zones and everything, but unless I've missed something major, there is no way that every piece of information currently given to us is correct, it doesn't match up.

So, my basic question is, which is correct?

Thanks

ingame times are always right for me.

Ingame time is correct. I always find time schedule on wiki or even main website messed up.

I will check into this and see if we can get the times corrected. Thanks for the heads up!

Ok we checked and the times match up for us...how many of you are seeing contradictions?

Well, basically the way I see it is that this AT is 2 hours later for me than the previous AT. Now on the website it says it should be one hour later than the previous one, so regardless of time zone/otehr things I basically can't see how that can match up.

It's not really a problem, everyone will just go by the in game time anyway, just wanted to be sure so we didn't miss out on the tourney for something stupid like times.

Thanks for the quick response.
