changing the starting time of a tournament

If I set up a tournament with a predetermined starting time, would I be able to change the starting time at some later point?

There is no true "predetermined starting time". It is a time the TD might start a tournament.

Yes you can change the time.

@TadDude: Well, by "predetermined," I meant whatever time I set the tournament to begin, as opposed to an Auto start.

Helpful as always; many thanks!

You can set any date you want. That just changes the auto-start to manual start and buries your tournament at the end of this list.

The date you choose is just a hint to the registrants about a start date.

Go to the end of the list to find upcoming tournaments like this:

http://www.chess.com/tournament/evans-gambit-accepted2  "Starts on Oct 14, 2011 @ 3:00am (1 month 24 days ago)"

http://www.chess.com/tournament/russian-tournament-3  "Starts on Oct 15, 2011 @ 3:00am (1 month 23 days ago)"

@TadDude: I think I understand this better now. I can arbitrarily set any starting date and time I want, but the tournament won't start until I manually activate it, regardless. Do I have that correct?

Yes.

That is ideal. I was afraid that if I set a time, then the tournament might start too early before I would have enough registrants.

Thanks a lot!

how do you change a daily match start time '

i guess you cant

I dont understand how u do it

I am curious if you can change the start date of a tournament once "some" players have registered?
