It would be interesting if it could be determined whether the 'fall back" of the clock one hour has any affect on player performance or teams as a whole. It would be easy to suggest that it affects ALL players or teams equally......I'm not so sure. Example: Could it affect the players or their teams playing at home or on the road differently............Sports bettors keep looking for new angles......

Nah, They change time zone so much. It's only one hour.

One hour doesn't sound like much but some studies suggest it can changes and bio-rhythms of the body (some more than others).
I was hoping some of our "system players" would come up with some stats.....

In the Fall I believe if anything it is a plus. It is an extra hour of down time. I would think in the Spring it would have more of an affect on the NBA, NHL, NCAA, MLB players who lose the one hour. Especially to the professionals who tend to be partiers and the college kids who need more sleep.

Daylight Savings in 2020 is on March 8. A Saturday night/Sunday morning. At 2:00 AM it suddenly becomes 3:00 AM. The college kid who says let's just have one more is now heading to bed at 4:00 AM. Whoops. I believe this is Big 5 Conference Championship Tournament weekend or perhaps the last weekend of the regular season. So probably not many Sunday games, but a few Noon tips I am sure. And throw out MLB because it is Spring Training, but NHL, NBA early Puckoffs and Tips...

just for an hour difference if it does affect them, they should be shot for the amount of money they are paid. They come up with enough excuses already
