• Пожалуйста, скопируйте/вставьте текст ошибки, которую вы видите на экране (если она есть).
When a date is displayed numerically, the order of the day and month can be ambiguous to an English speaker. (For example, is 05-04-2020 the 4th of May or the 5th of April?)
BGA appears to use MM/DD/YYYY throughout: this is conventional ordering for the United States and is recognised in Canada, but is the opposite of the ordering used in the United Kingdom or Australia. (Ordering is reflected for other countries by the user's "language" setting, but users in the US, UK, Australia and Canada all share the same "English" setting.)
Would suggest either adopting the unambiguous YYYY/MM/DD format, or adding a month-as-word keyword that translation strings can access, to allow dates to be written as eg. "April 5 2020". -

История отчёта
Please switch to the unambigous ISO 8601 format as suggested by kevan.
There's only one international date format, which is %Y-%m-%d.
Please switch to the unambigous ISO 8601 format as suggested by kevan and MilConDoin.
Using the standard YYYY/MM/DD seems logical, too.
MM/DD/YYYY just doesn't make any sense (except in USA apparently).
I can also see a text string in Main Site translation that reads "This string defines the date formatting for your language. It should contain the letters 'm', 'd', 'Y', 'H' and 'i' in the proper order. It's important to get this right! Are you sure?" either suggesting some overall language config page that I can't find, or that setting up a new language prompts for a date format - if the latter defaults to US, it should be changed to ISO 8601.
The international standard format would be great, a custom setting might be even better even though I would choose the YYYY-MM-DD format anyway!
Great!
NB: the option was visible since some days, but is functional only since today's release.
Would it be possible to add "American" as a language so that the American date format is only applied to Americans and the rest of the world's English speakers can have dd/mm/yyyy?
Or just make dd/mm/yyyy a choice as well as ISO 8601?
The cost of being confused by a date can be a big one (I thought my premium account had expired when it hadn't; others might miss tournaments), and there's no hint that other formats exist - the user has to guess that maybe there's a preference to change it. The cost of finding a date readable but maybe a little on the formal side is much lower.
Instead of using "the default format for your language", you could overlay that with the player's defined country, if that's possible: if a player is set to both "English language" and "United States" they get MM-DD-YYYY, if they're set to English in any other country, they get YYYY-MM-DD.
* YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601)
* DD-MM-YYYY
