Regular Versus Military Time

Our poker tournaments are displayed in military time. That can be confusing, so we have provided a chart that will help you convert the military time into the regular time that we are all used to using.

The main difference between regular and military time is how hours are expressed. Regular time uses numbers 1 to 12 to identify each of the 24 hours in a day, and requires the use of a.m. and p.m. to clearly identify the time of day.

In military time, the hours are numbered from 00 to 23. Under this system, midnight is 00, 1 a.m. is 01, 1 p.m. is 13, and so on. Since military time uses a unique two-digit number to identify each of the 24 hours in a day, a.m. and p.m. are unnecessary.

The following table summarizes the hour relationship between regular and military time.
