The time zone issue is easily resolved: reputable platforms sync their promotional timers with your local time. On the https://madofficialau.com/en-au/ website, all tournament clocks are displayed in your browser's local time. If the platform doesn't sync, you'll have to manually convert the time. I recommend setting your operating system's clock to display GMT for reference. You can also use online converters. To avoid confusion, add events to your calendar with an hourly notification. Many players maintain an Excel spreadsheet with time conversions. But it's better to choose a platform that takes care of its users. If you travel frequently, always check the promotional end time 15 minutes before the deadline. And remember that some promotions are tied to server time, which may not match either GMT or your local time. Check the rules. Overall, convenience is an important factor, and I advise against playing on platforms that don't have a local timer.
