Regarding the calendar, the stipulation of operation periods based on calendar days and weeks hampers charity poker's optimal operation and effectiveness, thus possible negatively impacting the good a charity can do for our communities and people. This misconception fails to account for poker rooms' modified 24-hour cycles, causing issues in reporting. A reasonable fix is to redefine "calendar day" as a 24-hour span determined by the charitable organization and make a conforming change to "calendar week."
