Errr, Sparhawk, GMT, right so Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a time system originally referring to mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, which later became adopted as a global time standard. It is arguably the same as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
But there is no British Standard Time that is the same as GMT except that GMT is the official time only during winter; during summer British Summer Time is used.
GMT is the same as Western European Time.
British Summer Time (BST) is the civil time during the summer months in the United Kingdom during which the clocks are advanced from UTC, also commonly called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) by one hour (UTC+01:00). The British Summer Time period begins on the last Sunday of March and ends on the last Sunday of October.
So in short any UK or probably British Isles players will be on British Summer Time at 20:00 not GMT at this time of year. IST – Irish Standard Time is currently on daylight saving time/summer time as well so UTC + 1, the same as BST British Summer Time, otherwise Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland would have an hour time difference on their clocks.
Meanwhile as our Captain is on HAST - Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time, UTC/GMT -10 hours, for him and any other Hawaiian’s it’ll be Sunday 15th July 10:00 HAST
Clear, I think so?
Sunday 15th July 20:00 BST (British Standard Time) Really British Summer Time and IST currently
Sunday 15th July 19:00 GMT/UTC
Sunday 15th July 21:00 CEST (Central European Standard Time)
Sunday 15th July 22:00 EEST (Eastern European Summer Time)
Sunday 15th July 12:00 PST
Sunday 15th July 15:00 EST
