    Hi Richard,
    Game Schedules uses the default WordPress timezone for all its date/time calculations. Did you set your WordPress default timezone to Eastern time? From the Game Schedules FAQ page:

    The date-time formats are right, but my dates and times or the countdown time are not still not correct. What’s wrong?
    The date and time displays on both the user and the admin pages as well as the countdown timer are driven by the default WordPress time zone, which is set on the WordPress Settings->General screen. It is important that you set the correct timezone in the WordPress Settings -> General Settings BEFORE entering any schedule data.

    If you enter game data in the incorrect timezone, you are screwed. You have to make sure the timezone is correct before starting.
