Strange one here : how do you read a UTC post for an event? The Flying Pigs had a "walk the Pigs Sprint" It was adtertised as August 7, 0-1UTC and August 8, 1-2UTC. I read that as Aug, 6 20-21 local and same with next day. Apparently I'm wrong and they use local date with unicersal time at Flying Pigs which seems like mixing Feet and Meters too me. I know the Flying Pigs like a bit of whimsy in their lot but I don't know any other event organizer that manages time/date like this. It saves spelling out time zone starts in North America but also feels lazy and is confusing. You'd do better to shift the meridian use Central Time and let us figure it out!
