Actually I think it would be easiest to use GMT and always provide this link. Who uses CET anyway?

Just make sure you look at "What's the current London time now?".

Hmm, nope? That's not GMT. That's London time and atm that is BST, which is GMT+1. Idea to use GMT is that it's always the same and if you pick your country it will always show the current time difference to GMT. In my case it's now GMT+3, in your case GMT+1.

The website would be great if there was a cup timer, telling how many hours,minutes,seconds to start the cup

to save all future work.

No, GMT doesn't work because of too much chaos with time switching. Actually I thought that CET remained the same, but it doesn't seem so. Well, just know that by CET we mean CEST in summer

I have a better idea, I think.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/f ... p1=37&ah=1

This link shows the time for an event for most of the big capitals of world. So I'd suggest using this. I used 19:00 in Berlin. I just click the link and there it is! Starts 2pm and ends 3pm for Rio de Janeiro, my city. I will post it on Fun Race topic to see if people like it.

To create it you go on World Clock > Event Time Announcer.

Well I think whatever the current time for CET is, GMT is 1 hour before. So 7pm CET is 6pm GMT. Just I don't know for any other countries
