Why is half of my text red now? This site makes very little sense...
This tournament has not started yet.

I see your tournament started. Was it 3am EST the following day? Having the same issue in mine. I clicked "start tournament" last night about 11:45pm. I assumed the tournament would start immediately, but did not. THen i presumed it might start at 3am (midnight PST as chess.com HQ seems to be there) but this was also wrong. Any clue as to what caused the delay and how much time passed between "start tournament' and the tournament starting?
So I'm trying to get this invite-only tournament going:
https://www.chess.com/tournament/otf-chess-4
On clicking the "Start Tournament" button, for some reason I'm not getting any games going. Instead, the status of the tournament is REGISTRATION CLOSED - TOURNAMENT STARTING SOON!, and at the top it only says "This tournament has not started yet." What am I doing wrong? How can I pull the trigger?
Thanks in advance.
