Creating a team-only arena by date

Hello everyone,

this question might have been answered before, but I couldn't find anything with the search feature. What I want to do is organize weekly tournaments for people at my university.
I noticed that you can create both arena tournaments and swiss tournaments to be team only, but unfortunately it is only possible to set a tournament start date for swiss tournaments.
I'd also like to schedule arena tournaments ahead of time. Did I simply miss how to do this, or might it perhaps be intended to not set a tournament start date for arena tournaments?

Thank you all in advance
jonas

You actually can @loungelizard For tournament start date, (at least for me) it shows a calendar with a space to put the time. Click a date on the calendar

@learningchesskid3 for me this is only possible for swiss tournaments, not for arena tournaments. I've attached images below. See how it is possible for me to set a date for swiss tournaments, but not for arenas.

@loungelizard, you have to go to advanced setting for arenas and click the override time before arenas setting, which will allow you to create an arena at any time.

@loungelizard Create it with a preset and then press the settings top left, then you should be able to change the start date.
MAN I WAS TOO LATE but thanks @Francis920

Thank you all so much! I don't know why I didn't check the advanced options -- or perhaps I did and didn't scroll down far enough. Anyway, thank you so so much for helping me :)
