3 months ago The open and close times on the generated cue sheet aren't in UTC. If that happens sometimes, it would be a bug needing to be fixed. Can you point me at an event where this is the case? The times should be in the event time zone, which is usually the region time zone, unless overridden. Seriously, I believe timezone support is correct on both the cuesheets and the brevet cards. If it isn't, please show me where it isn't.

The open and closing times on the generated cue sheet list times in UTC. While accurate, it requires tired rando brains to do simple arithmetic. This could result in increased anxiety, shortness of breath, elevated blood pressure, and even death as the exasperated attempt to sprint to finish before a miscalculated closing time.
Given a RWGPS route in a region with a designated TZ, and no tzname specified on controls, the start and end time of each control will display the times in the region's TZ on the cue sheet.
Given a RWGPS route in a region with a designated TZ, and a different tzname specified on a control (maybe the route crosses into another TZ?), the start and end time of of each control will be displayed in both the REGION TZ AND the TZ of that control on the cue sheet. e.g. Open: Jun-08 11:37 EDT / 08:00 CDT Close: Jun-08 14:56 EDT / 15:56 CDT
IDK if that should be the case for all of the controls...or just those controls out of the region's TZ. What of half of the route was in one TZ, and half another? and half the riders came from each with windup watches that were set for their home TZ? This could get nuts!
