  So being that flash is dead to Know "Exactly" what time a round or Tourney ends you need to look at open tourneys in your CC drop down ...But I am a bit confused on what time zone the clock is running on ?

  I just set up a tourney at 8:04 am EST for 7 days but according to the Tourney end time it shows a time of 00:04 so on military time that's 12:04 am? I was always under the impression wgt's clock was set to PST time zone for tourney set up (since they are based in California) But apparently I am mistaken... So my guess is WGT goes by AEDT time zone For tourneys as well?...

  I would double check that JD👻. Mine shows 8:04 (no time zone specified) but I’m in EST so I guess it’s that one. If I change the time zone on my phone it changes the times and even dates if applicable to whatever time zone I’m in. I would assume it is similar on a PC.

  Tourney clock is differing:

  - PST / PDT for official WGT tournaments,

  - Your own timezone for CC tournaments.

  Difference is, WGT tourneys invariably start at 12 am PST, while CC tournaments start in the moment they are created. After a short delay (*) their start and finish times are shown in the observer's time zone.

  (*) directly after creation, it's in PST.

  Your experience looks different - no clue if it's a new normal or just a flaw...

  NOW  When I check the same tourney (from Image I posted above) is does in fact say end time: 8:04 ....So it seems to have corrected itself hmmmm 

  Thanks Marchie
