That's the only conclusion I could come to. The owner of the host computer and I spent a lot of time changing time zones, clock settings, and entered match times, and we could never get everything to add up. Some client computers reported the proper time of day but had the match times off by an hour with the field running an hour off in the other direction, other clients showed the time of day wrong and the match times correct and agreeing with the field delay, and at least one client showed the field running two hours slow.

We eventually gave up trying to make it work properly for everyone, and settled for making it work consistently (if differently) on a given computer.
