I've created a club tournament by visiting our club page and selecting "New club event". Then I choose the "Swiss tournament" option under the "Create" tab and set it up with the following settings:As you can see, my time zone is GMT+2 and I int4ended to create a tournament to begin on 23rd of August at 8PM. However, after creating the tournament, the starting date and time are displayed different, as shown in the following screenshot:

Could you explain me how to make a tournament to start at exact date and time I want?

The tournament creation process uses the timezone of your device. So if that does not match your actual timezone you'll need to manually adjust the start time.

I've followed the same steps across multiple devices, including two PCs and a mobile phone, all of which are set to GMT+2 in the settings. Unfortunately, the outcome remains unchanged.

All I know is the creation screen uses device timezonr and the time shown in scheduled events uses the timezone configured in your settings for the website.

When I'm traveling and use my phone to schedule, I have to convert to the correct time. If I use my laptop, which keeps my normal timezone and time, I don't have to do any adjustments.

You were right. Although on the screenshot it said my time zone was gmt+2, it was differently set in the settings. Changing to the proper value solved my problem. Thank you!
