Usually with each of Splatoon’s Splatfests, the results are announced one hour after the competition ends. But with this weekend’s Pokemon Splatfest, Nintendo is taking a slightly different approach.

Results for all Splatfests – North America, Europe, and Japan – will actually be announced at the same time. Here’s when that’ll happen:

– 11 PM PT (Saturday)
– 2 AM ET (Sunday)
– 7 AM in the UK (Sunday)
– 8 AM in Europe (Sunday)

As for the map rotation, Blackbelly Skatepark, Camp Triggerfish, and Museum d’Alfonsino will be featured.
