I'm on a GMT-3 TZ but for SRS I'm in ZONE 4 on the UTC-4 bracket
The race times are not being displayed correctly on the Daily Schedules page, there is an offset that is incorrect or some other reason that the time is off by one hour.

After looking into the attached map, I see that there 24 UTC zones. From this attached map the user should find the 1/24th time zone offset in which they are located, look to the bottom and note the offset. Mine happens to be -5 UTC offset.
From there the user should go to the User CP Date and Time options and set the offset based on the UTC offset found earlier.
The confusion for me is this:
1) The Date and Time options are listed in GMT.
2) It is not indicated that the offset is based on UTC, and in fact has GMT as the offset in the dropdown.
3) The chart to locate the user's UTC is not available when setting the date and time options.
4) All of the times listed on the website are GMT(with an * indicating the users offset).
In order to make things less complicated I would suggest.
1) Stick to one time offset. GMT or UTC not both.
2) If you use UTC, add a link to the UTC chart to the Date and Time option section so the user has quick access.
