You explain joey, he withdrew before hand. AND where did you find the answer you gave me?
Joey, where did you find the answer you gave me?
Joey, where did you find the answer you gave me? You said "yes" to my question of " do I lose points if a TD withdraws one from a tournament". Where did you get that answer.
Who knows? The origins of many things I know is lost...
Ah, joey just proved he is a troll. Disreguard him, I am looking for facts not trolls. Why would joey go on a rant then discredit himself? Oh wait "Who knows? The origins of many things I know is lost..."
An admin will be commenting or contacting the troll, letting him know he can't claim what he said is true.

Ok... heres the deal, Curtfines did not withdraw from the tournament before it started... end of story. You are listed in the groups. that means the tournament started.
You missed your window to withdraw before the tournament began. It doesnt matter if you didnt start the games. What matters is that the games were posted. You did not resign in time, and just tanked your own rating.

Curtfines is in grp #4 - now please stop wasting peoples time. Thanks

I didnt see a yes or no answer to the question, Do I lose points if a TD withdraws me from a tournament? If you dont know, dont answer.
A TD can't do anything about your games, only your participation in the tournament. You would lose points if he booted you.
A TD can only actually remove players between rounds, no-one, not even staff can remove a player from a tournament while they have games being played.
A TD can only remove a player from a tournament between rounds, not during.
THANK YOU kohai for the correct answer! Now we can disreguard kplash and joey troll comments. I will no longer track this forum now that I have my answer. I will give it to the trolls to comment on to no end.
Found out joey had problem with ONE game with someone way below him, so he was just trolling.
If you call asking a simple question wasting peoples time wellcooohee mister.Actually your wrong..So do you want to have another go at another lame and rediculous answer,or is that a waste of time.? It seems that there are alot of people with alot of answers ,none of which are correct.Maybe somebody should read rules etc before they give THERE own answer.
1 its "their" not "THERE"
2 how am I trolling by looking up the game, and seeing that you started it and telling you that you couldnt have canceled before hand?
3. I find it hillarious that the guys with klingon icons are complaining about trolls... as they spam and fill up a thread with useless and false information with a very provokative title...when all they want to know is "Is there any way I can withdraw from a tournament without tanking my rating?"
