Hi Mike:
Remember Australia is going into fall. So it is going out of DST.
April 1, 2012 in LA 2 p.m. is DST.
April 2, 2012 in Sydney is 7 a.m. Standard Time
From the time conversion website:
Most Recent DST Transition
DST ended on Sun 3-Apr-2011 at 03:00:00 A.M. when local clocks were set backward 1 hour.
Next Scheduled DST Transition
DST will begin on Sun 2-Oct-2011 at 02:00:00 A.M. when local clocks are set forward 1 hour
If you pick a Sunday, it is Monday in Sydney, so I think a Saturday would be better.
For 2 p.m. in LA March 18:
Athens, 11 p.m. Standard
Berlin, 10 p.m. Standard
Helsinki, 11 p.m. Standard
London, 9 p.m. Standard
The other factor to consider is that after the stories are nominated, they have to be read by board members and that takes time, especially for the longer stories. Even if K-Comm is fast on its feet, there is still time required to read.
While I enjoyed all the stories who won yesterday, I think we also have to evaluate the comparison of the stories in the categories. That takes time too.
