editing game times / time zone question

thehef · 07-01-2017, 02:33 PM

I am under the assumption that when you enter, in the schedule editor, a starting time for a game, the time you enter is local - relative to the home city. So if you enter a start time as 1:05 pm in Los Angeles, that game will be scheduled for 1:05 pm Pacific and 4:05 pm Eastern.

However, I recently entered two series' worth of games with games taking place in LA, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis. When I view the league schedule (MLB > Schedule, or Play Games from the League...; not the schedule editor), the LA and Milwaukee games appear with their correct Eastern time zone start time, but the Minneapolis games appear with the same start time that I entered... So an LA game entered as 1:05 shows as 4:05 eastern; a Milwaukee game entered as 1:05 shows as 2:05 eastern; but the Minny game entered as 1:05 shows as 1:05 eastern. Milw and Minn are in the same - Central - time zone.

I checked the time zone settings for these cities in Explore World, and Milw and Minn are both set to UTC-6, so that isn't the issue.

Not a huge deal, but I'm just curious if I'm doing/interpreting something incorrectly, or what... Thanks in advance.

Is it possible that the Minneapolis team is not set to play in Minneapolis?
