Michael,<div><br></div><div>The current version of the database already has Casey and Davis on UTC+8 and UTC+7, respectively. They had been changed to UTC+11 and UTC+5 temporarily between October 2009 and March 2010. I'd imagine such a temporary change is what happened this season as well, but I don't see any record on the list archives of when this period began in the southern spring.<div>
<br></div><div>Timeanddate.com lists these changes as having occurred on Friday 28 October 2011, with <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=1034&syear=2010">Casey going forward three hours</a> from 02:00 UTC+8 to 05:00 UTC+11 at 05:00 Hobart time (18:00 UTC Thursday), and <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=1035&syear=2010">Davis going backward two hours</a> from 02:00 UTC+7 to 00:00 UTC+5 at 06:00 Hobart time (19:00 UTC Thursday).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Can you confirm that this is when these time zone shifts began for the 2011–2012 season, or perhaps provide other clarifying remarks? Thanks.<br><div><br clear="all">--<br>Tim Parenti<br><br>
