Also, here is a reminder about starting times since the time zones issue always seems to cause confusion.
The NGA server is on Coordinated Universal Time, aka UTC time, which means that it keeps time as if it were a person living in Greenwich in London, England (when on the regular GMT time and not on their daylight-savings time known as British Summer Time).
The new swap day starts at the beginning of a new server day, which is at 12:00 am UTC.
Swaps start at 12:00 am UTC and the (unearned) daily allowance tickets for each day are distributed at 12:00 am UTC.
Since Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend and we return to our local Standard Times, we don't have to worry about the local times changing part way through the swap (like the DnD swappers do).

@Dave - If you find any errors in my notes, please let me know so that I can correct it. Thanks!
