Ok well heres there problem, im trying to join torunaments and it says my timeout ratio is to high? i found where it told me my ratio stat and i am to high but how do you lower it? i want to play in a tournament but i cant until its down. If anyone has advice please let me know! thanks!

You have to complete more games without letting yourlself timeout.  As your number of completed games increases, the percentage of games that you timed out will decrease, eventually to the required level.

Thanks bro! i see what your saying. so i need to keep playing more games without any timeouts and then it will eventually balance out, so does it usually take a long time to get this timed out percentage to decrease?

depends on your total games played and the amount of games you timed out on. What ever percent it's at now, you have to play a number of games, win or lose, until the time out ratio is below 10%.

You've timed out in 11 out of 77 games. To reach the mandtory 10% timeout ratio, you need to complete at least 28 games without timing out (11/105 = 10.47% and it seems like the chess.com rounds that statistic to the nearest percent).

sooo.. for you, 11 time outs...out of 77 games...you need to play about 30 or so more games.  11/110 = 10%
