CC Time is Eastern Time, whereas CC servers are in Central Time... hence the time switch that will occur on our servers at 2AM their time will actually be at 3AM CC Time.

But this is not correct, because Eastern time also lost an hour, so when Central time switches over, it will still be 2 AM CC time. Their switch is an hour in absolute time after hours, but we lost an hour in local time just before that happens. During the hour before the Central time zone change, both Eastern and Central clocks read the same time.

Except that we calculate CCT by adding an hour to our CST/CDT .
