For the European people at ODTUG

Are you a football fan and don't want to miss anything about the Euro 2008?
But as a true Oracle believer you also go to ODTUG Kaleidoscope in New Orleans?

The timezones are different! So it's very hard to know what time they play the game.

Here's the date and time of New Orleans:



Here's the date and time of Austria and Switzerland (= also my timezone):



You still have to work out the difference in time? Don't worry, in DG Tournament I gave everybody the option to change the Timezone they are in. I created a special ODTUG entry, if you select it, the date and times will change in the New Orleans timezone.


Don't forget to bed on the games! It's all fun. If you had problems or don't know how to do it, I wrote a little FAQ for DG Tournament.

Oh... if you're worried where to see the games in the States... This is the reply of the hotel we're staying in: "Yes, we can get the European Championship Football Game. However, please keep in mind that the NBA Championship and College Baseball World Series will also be on – we can work around the events."

I hope the time difference plays in our favor. I asked to play the games of especially the 17th: Netherlands - Romania and France - Italy. They should be really good matches!

Some of us yanks care about Euro 2008 as well :) I used to use soccertv.com exclusively for all my time zone converting and channel finding of matches I was interested in. This site (http://www.livesoccertv.com/) looks to be a worthy replacement and may help in finding any local pubs if you can't find your own feed in the big easy.

Who to take on as my team since England failed miserably to qualify? Definitely not the Portuguese.
