So that would mean it starts at 12.30am for UK instead of the 11.30pm it currently is?
That’s why I asked this and @Batman2508 said yes

If your current starting time will s 11:30pm, it would become 10:30pm.
In which direction? Up an hour usually means an hour later.

it's not common terminology here in the uk, but i understood it to mean an hour earlier. @SmyslovFan's later comment seemed to clarify it that way, at post #20.
I can understand how it would be interpreted as pushed back an hour

please can we keep it the same? If you push it back an hour that means i cant play at all because of HW. and my dad always says " School First, Then Chess" That means completing HW first 
. Can we keep it the same please?

This is really the only tournament I play in regularly. It was only this week I missed due to ill health.

The problem is that we can't find a time that suits everyone. If we move earlier, it's better for Eurasia, but we start to get into work/school hours in North America. If we move later, it's even worse for Eurasia.
One possibility: alternate between two different times on alternate weeks. Titled Tuesday is now on an earlier schedule and starts at 18:00 UTC during the winter, 19:00 UTC during the summer (based on Daylight Savings Time in the USA). It lasts a little over a couple hours.
We could move UTT earlier; to start right after TT we could start at 20:30 UTC. That would be 2:00 AM in India - the middle of the night, even worse than the current time. It would also be the middle of the afternoon in North America.
We could start before TT. To finish before TT starts, we'd want to allow a couple hours. So we could start at 16:00 UTC. That would be late at night in India, late afternoon/early evening in Europe, and mid-morning in North America.
What about alternating between 16:00 UTC and 23:30 UTC? Or we could move the late time half an hour earlier to 16:00 UTC and 23:00 UTC?

16.00 UTC does help, alternating it is good too
I think you just found the answer to the greatest PROBLEM IS THIS CLUB'S HISTORY👌. Wil be comfortable timings
probably no need to change it, as has been mentioned tons of times if a time is better for you it's probably worse for someone else
I’m fine the way it is
I think it starts at 4pm for me and that works way better than 5
Could we play right after TT? That makes more sense. Cause I don't want to start the tourneys at 2 - 3 AM
