Hi Allen,

Did you schedule this event via the page UI or via XML API CreateEvent?

Hi Allen,

I'm not able to duplicate that issue. Below is a snippet of my request:

</bodyContent>

And this is the response I get:

<serv:bodyContent xsi:type="ns1:lstTimeZoneResponse">

<ns1:timeZone>

<ns1:timeZoneID>60</ns1:timeZoneID>

<ns1:gmtOffset>780</ns1:gmtOffset>

<ns1:description>GMT+13:00, New Zealand (Wellington)</ns1:description>

<ns1:shortName>Wellington</ns1:shortName>

<ns1:hideTimeZoneName>false</ns1:hideTimeZoneName>

<ns1:fallInDST>true</ns1:fallInDST>

<ns1:standardLabel>Standard</ns1:standardLabel>

<ns1:daylightLabel>Daylight</ns1:daylightLabel>

</ns1:timeZone>

</serv:bodyContent>

Can you send me the relevant snippet of your XML request and response (without password)?

I was able to reproduce what you are seeing, but the results are correct. 9/24/2016 15:00 + 12 hours = 9/25/2016 03:00, at that point the time zone offset would be GMT+13.
