The next update to PBS will bring us to version 19-3. The information below is to bring you up to date on the changes that this update will feature.

With the update to PBS is also a change to new servers. This will give greater stability during bidding vs the old servers. This move will also bring about a change to the sign in process which will use a Single Sign On (SSO) process. SSO will redirect you to the AC Portal for signing in only. After you sign in you are brought back to PBS.

Below is an in-depth bulletin that deals with this subject:

Effective for the August bid period (September blocks), the bidding start and end time will change. Bidding will now open at 00:01 (Eastern time) and close at 00:01 (Eastern time). The total time available for bidding remains unchanged. For the first two months with the change in time, bidding will be available until the “old” bid close time of 08:00 (Eastern time).

What this does is provide a buffer should there be disruptions with PBS during the bid period.

Open and Close times for Training bidding remain unchanged.
