Hi all, I joined a tourney (scottish game) and I passed the first round qualifying myself for the second stage. Now I can't see the tourney statistics waiting the start of the second phase, and it seems that I retired myself quitting the tourney. How can I discover what happened?

Thanks for the attention and sorry for my basic english

According to the standings, you were removed. You might message the TD to find out why.

Though, from looking at the tourney details you probably went over 1400 :http://www.chess.com/tournament/opening-scotch-anyone ...

"Condition of participation: you agree to withdraw from the tournament (at end of the round) when your rating reaches 1400 or greater. Please be sure to comply.:

Thanks for your answer. I thought that but I went over 1400 only for some hours. During the firt stage I become more than 1400 but at the end of the stage I was lower than 1400. Now I think the first stage is not yet completed and I occasionally went over 1400 and right now I'm lower so I don't understand why I can't play the second stage (still not started). Anyway no problem..I don't know why my elo become so high (for my real chess attitude) simply winning a lucky match.
