What’s so hard about scheduling games? The phone rings and you simply plug in the first, second, and third teams that call. You’re done in a jiffy. If it were only that simple. There are, however, a number of considerations to this seemingly straight-forward task which might make it easier. It is not unusual for many leagues to provide the basic schedule for all sports and an athletic director simply has to find opponents for non-league, open dates. This is a great start if you find yourself in this situation.
A time zone is an area that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time.

How can you tell when weather conditions will be best for astronomy?
We reveal what to look out for and
how to use the UK Met Office forecasts to help.
Nothing affects our ability to view the night sky more than the weather. Unless the sky

opportunity
for viewing or imaging in advance is very useful indeed.
