Default Daylight savings time

Question : daylight savings time tomorrow, turn clocks back 1 hr or forward 1 hr?

I have a game tomorrow at 10:30am, if I didn't change my clock, is it 9:30am or 11:30am? (I'm really hoping its 11:30am so I don't show up at my game still drunk from the night before again)

You fall back, so it'd be 11:30.

Spring forward, fall back. So yes, it will be at 1130.

So 930am will become 1030am. Sorry but you'll get less sleep, not more.
Backwards.

Having my bday day before Halloween and thus most of my bday's are always halloween parties, that extra 1hr to party/recover is the best gift ever.

Thank you Mr Savings time!

I wish Daylight Savings didn't land on Halloween. Now I have to leave the party at 130am just to be home by 2 to change my clocks

Saskatchwan does it right No Time changing. They only need to push the start Date back another four months and it will be gone.
