This excerpt from the tournament help page seems to indicate that you'd have no penalty.

How do I withdraw from a tournament?

You are allowed to withdraw from a tournament at any time using the Withdraw link located on the right hand side of any tournament homepage. However, withdrawing from a tournament while you have games in progress will automatically cause you to forfeit all your games on time and negatively affects your timeout % ratio. If your timeout ratio is too high, you will not be allowed to play in future tournaments.

The help entry is not correct.

See here where a player withdrew and still has today 0 timeouts.

The games ended as resignations.

thanks..i withdrew safely

why????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

too long..too boring
