Tournament started 2 minutes ago, but I haven't had in game notification yet.  Same for anyone else?

Dance,

 

There's something wrong with your tournament page's date/time converter. It informed me that the Tier V throwdown would begin on 28/8/16 at noon (in my local time, New Zealand). I logged on an hour before that time, only to find that the trny had finished.

 

By way of contrast, the 1 vs 1 Tier I trny was scheduled exactly two days earlier, i.e. 26/8/16 at noon. That one did start at that time. Thus, I had no reason to doubt the noon start for the Tier V Hvy trny.
