Idea: Timezones.

Since all times are currently set for EST, would it be possible to have a setting in your profile that automatically changes times to be relative to your local timezone? I mean it's not very hard for me to subract 3 hours, but it must be a pain in the ass for European clans.

In Euro ladders time is set for GMT. European people sure schould know what is GMT time streffe (and I think, americans know, what is EST) and for them, it's not problem, to know at what local hour they play.
Well, I assumed that they were set for GMT, but it just make sense to have it already set in your timezone so you didn't have to think about it.

We play on the European 6vs6 ladder so I know about the time problem.

It is correct that when we select dates and time for our matches it is shown in GMT but that is the only place with GMT.
Even our match communications are in EST and some times that can give some problems.
Also everywhere else the time is in EST, but this is a system from USA so we will try to learn your way of life and try to mix it with our own
MEK is correct. Same here. Confusing in matchcomms and stuff
The reason is that there are very few non-US ladders. The eprson who code the site also volunteers. The suggstion could be be made, but there are other things that would take priority.

Fine with me, but just put it on the long list of stuff to do.

I agree put it on the long list, it is possible to use the system like it is now
