24 Hour Clock

How many of you along with me hate this thing. It says the tournament starts at 21:05... So what time is that on the regular clock. I miss like 35% of my tournaments due to subtracting the time wrong. Why dont poker rooms make it the standard 12 hour clock?

Maybe cause in a big chunk of the world, the 24-hour clock is standard?

Well it's probably not that, just making a point... Anyway, I think it's more precise, without needing 2 extra digits.

in the eastern U S its easy,if a tourney starts at 21:05 i do this,, 12 and what is 21, the answer is 9, so the tourney starts at 9:05 pm,, from midnight till noon its the same, etc. 1,,2 ,, 0r 3 oclock then at noon you just add, if the tourneys at 13:00, its 12 and what makes 13, the answer is 1 pm, so it starts at 1 oclock>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> buck

0:00=12:00am (midnight)
1:00= 1:00am
2:00= 2:00am
3:00= 3:00am
4:00= 4:00am
5:00= 5:00am
6:00= 6:00am
7:00= 7:00am
8:00= 8:00am
9:00= 9:00am
10:00=10:00am
11:00=11:00am
12:00=12:00pm (noon)
13:00= 1:00pm
14:00= 2:00pm
15:00= 3:00pm
16:00= 4:00pm
17:00= 5:00pm
18:00= 6:00pm
19:00= 7:00pm
20:00= 8:00pm
21:00= 9:00p
22:00=10:00pm
23:00=11:00pm
and back to 0:00

The next step is to check to see what time zone the site is running in, and figure out how far ahead/behind you are from that. For example, I live in the Pacific Time Zone, so if a tournament starts at 15:00 Eastern (3pm Eastern), it would start at 12:00 noon for me since I'm behind the Eastern Time Zone by 3 hours.

If you cant take 12 away from a figure, how can you hope to be a success at poker?

Simply subtract 12. It's not THAT difficult. If it is, then I can only imagine how bad your calculations of poker odds are.

Please tell me this is a joke topic.
