Help
Am I the only one who has a problem with the time left to the start as shown in the Tournament Listing and the actual time of day that one has scheduled the start for ??
Every tournament I have done I have encountered these discrepancies.
Now my Math is pretty rusty so it has been a case of - oh well one is prone to Senior Moments !!
BUT after changing it twice in the past hour I watched it for sometime and while my computer clock ticked over 5 minutes - the Tournament time to start stayed the same :-(

No Maureen!
I have also noticed that the BBO clock seems not to be stable.
I think you know this feature to help you for count down:
http://www.timeandda...ustomcount.html
Time is set for UTC/GMT. It would certainly be nice if BBO would be able to put in links for world clock. Some day that may come I hope.

I use that link - it is on all the BILounge schedule pages in the Lounge Club News section - direct to the meeting planner which is ideal for my members sorting out their own times to attend teaching sessions.

The time-before-start is not updated continuously.
If the tourney is more than a day in the future, the time is updated (and broadcast to everyone) about once an hour.
If the tourney is more than 4 hours away, every 10 minutes.
if less than 4 hours away, every 15 seconds.
That might explain some of what you are seeing. Yes, it would be nice if the host could specify (and the viewer could see ) start times in local time. Someday..
