PS: The double-entries for HBotSVN, hb05, and HouseBot are still on that page. The later set of descriptions that combine all HouseBot variants into one block should be preserved.

At 08:00 GMT (=UTC, =Zulu time). I think that this is 01:00 in
California, but I am not sure how daylight saving applies there.
The page http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=324 allows me to specify
my time zone as "Pacific Standard Time (Los Angeles)", and then says
that it is using "PDT" and that the tournament starts at 01:00. (I find
it odd, and confusing, that the default timezone for that page is GMT,
but when I tell it to use GMT, it uses BST instead.)

Just to be clear, that's 1am California time.

Well, I knew it was California Daylight-Saving time. I've now checked,
and I see that Californis doesn't shift back to straight Pacific
Standard Time until November 4th. So, this tournament starts at 01:00
in California.
