Give me more details please; you can send me a private message or email diana@bridgebase.com so we can understand why you are seeing the wrong times.
It has righted itself. However, it should not make a difference what my computer's time zone is set to -- unless you are inferring user time zone based on IP address. Hopefully you are using epoch time and having the client figure out how long till a tourney starts.

I agree with that, I'm an older person and I know that a lot of older players play, what you've done is very tiring you have to stare, because the list is very unreadable. Why are you ruining what was good? Do you make players angry? It is difficult to explain it logically.I apologize in advance for any errors, because I use a translator.

While you're at it, hows about making the default font size on the forums a little bigger, too!

- first and foremost the filters are silly and useless. You cannot filter out what you do not want. For example, if you go through the BXP button, you have zillion of tournaments shown. First 4 to 5 pages are daylong, then silly ABCL house (maybe there is a reason they are first even though they might be played hours later
- there are very few fields. Everything is now lumped together in an obnoxious and unreadable string. please make this as a set of fields that can be then searched and sorted upon.
- related to above, once you create useful fields, implement sorting up/down initiated by the click on the heading.
- I saw somebody mentioning the flyover pop-up. That would be a solution for long fields, i.e. tournament name.
- Almost all of the comments here are negative. That should gve you a hint. Why not first select a subgroup of users that are willing to suffer through changes and test on them as opposed to antagonize all user.
- etc, etc, so please it is not difficult to explain what you want to Chat GPT and let it create a usable list. I am willing to give you a description of the functionality/requirements that I am sure would easily be accepted by 90% of users.
All together huh

1) There should be a view (and the default or only one imo) that shows a tournament on 1 line.
2) The Filters button should be at the top of the tournament listing (or even the bottom is better than overlaying the listing).
3) A user should be able to set up a default filter (ie. settings that are there the next time the user logs in).
4) There should be a default sort order. I suggest:
1st) tournaments you are already registered for
2nd) Start time (and define active daylongs as always having the same & earliest start time)
3rd) number of people entered (descending)
5) Make click on a table column header cause that property to be the thing sorted on 1st
and/or include control of sort key order in the Filter box.
6) Additional filters
a) Can win bbo$ or not
b) Dont know if it is possible, but Eligible to play vs All would be nice
7) Terminology/Style
a) The use of the term "just play" seems weird to me.
b) "Apply Filters" or just OK seems better to me than "Close Filters"
c) Even tho clicking anywhere on a tournament is straightforward, there should still be text somewhere that says this is how it works
d) I dont like the Filter box having scroll bar. If at all possible, I would use vertical space efficiently enough so that is unnecessary.
e) I think Close, etc should be in the gray area at the bottom, not take up space above that.

Once you click on a tournament, the standard display returns, which includes accurate times on when the tournament is starting, but with or without this flaw, the new display is HORRIBLE - no idea why one person's preference is imposed on us all.
