Count down clock
« on: December 27, 2010, 01:54:43 PM »
I have tried to put a countdown clock on a pre tournament screen.
I have put a countdown cell on the screen with these attributes
Time till the Start of the Tournament <br> <currenttime format="12-hour">

when  I go to the screen it shows the same time as the cell which shows "the current time screen.
How can i make the countdown work, from  say 1 hour before the comp begins.

would be a great help if some one could up load a pre-tournament screen so i could see exactly what is what.
This the first time i have tried to create a screen. A bit of trial and error at the moment. seeing what fits where, sizing fonts etc
have done a main tournament screen which was quite easy as all the basics can be changed from the sample screens etc.
Slowly getting there

thanks in advance.

Remove <current format..> and replace simply with <clock>

as per jody's response and you also need to start the countdown on the controls tab
