August Third Thursday Throwdown!

I haven't entered a trny for many months, and the page's layout has changed considerably (not for the better, IMHO).   I have some questions about page http://worldoftanks....nts/1000000295/   1) Immediately under the name of my team there is this block of text:   "SCHEDULE AUG 19 !"    (note that the exclamation mark is actually circled; I don't know how to do that herein).   When I hover the mouse over the "!", a pop-up says: "Scheduled times are displayed in your time zone format UTC+12" (I am in New Zealand).   There are no scheduled times anywhere near the "!", but Aug 19 is Friday (not Thursday), which is fine because NZ is a day ahead of the US.   If I scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, and click the "SCHEDULE" tab, I get a list of undated times (so the date isn't a clue), the first one is: "Group Stage Round 1: 1700 PT / 2000 ET". Nowhere else can I find any scheduled "times", only here, but these are indicated as being in US time zones. As these are the only scheduled times mentioned anywhere on the page, is the pop-up text for the "!" incorrect, or are the PT/ET suffixes incorrect?   2) What is server "US 1". I've played the game for a couple of years now, and I've only seen "US East" and US West". These are the only servers offered by worldoftanks.exe. How do I connect to US 1?   Thanks, HvT
