When I bring up the main console, the Time of Day field is showing 1 hour behind my system clock. For example, if my system time is 7:38, the console shows the time to be 6:38. I am in the Central Time zone if that matters. Is there a standard offset the clock is doing from GMT or something? Or am i just missing something?

Thanks,
Carl <><

Nope. The app grabs the time according to your system and displays it using your system's timezone.

Anyone else seeing this?

Hi,

I also have this problem.
Running Vista though, maybe that may be the problem...

Having the same problem here. I'm running XP but I think it has somthing to do with the odd daylight savings time thing. Hoping it is gonna get worked out as the normal day comes along.

Your Java Runtime Environment may need a patch.

Do you think this will help even though I live in the timezone GMT+1?
Next week we will be switching to DST so it will be GMT+2.

Also in the program interface itself it says start time is e.g. 07:30 PM UTC.
Which is correct because that is 08:30 PM in my time zone.

The problem should be limited to the US due to our changing of the start/stop of DST. Java will read your TZ information from the registry, but if you have not updated to the latest release for your version (1.4.2.13 or 1.5.0.11 are the latest releases I believe), Java will incorrectly set the time based on the old DST rules.

Had to make these update for the stuff I'm programming at work.

BTW, the time stamps on this message is another DST problem...I'm posting this at 12:37 CDT (UTC - 5) but the system thinks it is still CST (UTC - 6).

I fixed it!

Updating to Java Runtime 5 did the trick. Tournament Manager now even works with the Aero interface! Now if I only could get the program to remember the Alerts & Audios settings ...

Thanks All!

You need to save the console settings. They aren't saved for you.

v3 will make that much much easier and intuitive.
