Whats the potential of just letting the event organizer enter the time
with timezone, then store that value in the DB as UTC along with the
timezone that it was entered against. Then when a user visits the page
use Javascript and Ajax to store against that users session there
timezone, and just change out all the times to display as there
timezone. And just as a safety for when you don't know a users
timezone. ie the initial request to the site. Just display the time in
the timezone that it was entered against. Just make sure to include
the TZ info when displaying the time.

This does add a bit of work on a developer side but does benefit event
organizers and anyone browsing the site.

Team events removed from list according to UTC

Bug description:
Team events are supposed to list start/end time in local time, but they are removed from the list by interpreting their times as UTC.  Either the times should be translated to UTC instead of local time (though this doesn't make sense for strictly local events), or they should not be removed from the list until end_time + 24 hours.
