I'm unsure whether or not this is a problem; but I would like to point out a (potential?) exploit.

 Before I begin, I would like to clarify that I don't entirely know which tournaments are unlimitedly available to non-premium members (or, for a lack of better words, "leachers"). If official tournaments do not count towards the one-at-a-time limit placed on leachers, than please ignore this.

 

Otherwise, it would seem that if a leacher--such as myself--was not participating in a tournament, he/she could join several tournaments that haven't started yet until at least one of them begins; resulting in non-premium members participating in multiple tournaments at once.

 

The reason for my disclaimer is I registered for two tournaments... one being member-made, the other an official tourney, and both I am participating in despite the limit set on accounts like mine.

 

I don't really care that much about this, I was just curious.

Don't worry, the official, staff-made tourneys don't count towards the limit. I think it says this somewhere on the site, possibly the tournament help section?

Alright... that's sort of what I assumed; but I had quite a bit of difficulty finding information on it. Perhaps direct linking to specific help topics on related pages would be convenient?

There is a help link on the tournament pages where you'll find all the information you need (your specific help topic is on the bottom)
