Haha, SBT tends to be a little confusing for new players, let me explain:
SBT is a set time, it is not a time zone. For us dutchies SBT is at 19:00, meaning battleday starts at 19:00. However, practice for example, starts at SBT+2, meaning it starts 21:00 (two hours later than SBT).

thats not the first time someone new mistakes SBT for Solomon Islands Time (Pacific - UTC + 11 hours)
maybe we should change the abbreviation to CBT - Coordinated Battle Time, CBT is not an abbreviation of any time zone, and hopefully stop the confusion.

While on the subject of timezones, as I'm aware of the Battleday is at 18:00 UTC, and not 17:00 UTC
