Hey, gang! We lost a sim. Mid week 11.
Sim ran wk 10 games, and went direct to wk 11 game sim.
NO MIDWEEK 11 sim.

Straight to wk 11 game for tomorrow's sim!
The Matrix strikes again, but the Oracle always has cookies.
GAME MONDAY

I did adjust UTC sim time to maintain 9 pm Eastern US sim time, regardless of DT or ST, by +0:1:00 at approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes before the week 10 game sim that occurred today (nov 1 US).
As stated in options, sim occurred at 8 pm Eastern US time Nov 1, and was adjusted after wk 10 game sim to 9 pm Eastern US.
However, we lost our mid week 11 sim.
Went straight from game 10 to game 11 sim.

That's all I know, Jam master JDB :)

I think your changing the time actually caused it to run incorrectly. The game week 10 ran at 1:00 am UTC, and finished at 1:06 am UTC. The schedule for the league was changed to 2:00 because of DST, so the sim scheduled the midweek to run at the next 2:00 spot - which was less than an hour away. So the midweek sim ran at 2:00 am UTC. I guess the scheduler is not really robust enough to handle the DST time change in that direction.

Exactly what I was thinking this morning :)
Both sims ran, just 1 hour apart.
Not 100% sure, but it is the most logical explanation, Captain.
