Arena times when clocks change

I tried to create an arena for Sunday at 17:30 my time (I am in GMT - our clocks already changed last weekend, from being BST), but when I create it the time on it says 16:30 instead.  If I try to create one for today at 17:30 it gets created for the right time.

I know this is due to clocks changing in the US on Sunday, but what do I need to do in order to ensure it starts at 17:30 my time?  Do I add on an hour and say 18:30, then it will show as starting at 17:30 on Sunday?  Or is the time of the arena going to get shifted by 1 hour after the clock change so that I should still create it filling in 17:30, even though that shows as 16:30 after creating?

It is a multiclub arena with over 10 clubs so I don't want to have to cancel and re-invite everyone on Sunday itself if I get it wrong.

The one that shows your correct time now probably is the correct one. The server back-end is using UTC time to schedule, the display uses your configured time zone in settings, and the creation dialog uses your device time when it's created. Not sure why the latter two aren't aligned but from experience while traveling, that's the way it works currently.

Just for future reference, using the correct time in the arena creation dialog would lead to the expected arena time, despite it showing an hour late when created. This morning the arena I created got moved by an hour so is now at the time it said on the creation screen (which, unfortunately for me, is an hour late!).
