Won on time & withdraw

Posted by jootoo on Tuesday, Jan 6 at 2:03am

Hi, thanks for join this tournament, now 100 special players start this big party. Cool

I like to tell you something:

Won on time

this is the knock-out tournament, you will play two games with your opponent (one white & one black), the winner will go to next round, or two of you go to next round if tie.

Sometimes your opponent do not show up and you win on time, it is quite normal at tournament, you will go to next round.

But if both players in the same group do not show up and tie, then they go to next round, it is not fair for other winner go to next round after playing tough games, so I will remove these 2 players, for this case.

Withdraw

If you complete your two games and could not win and go to next round, suggest to click "withdraw" on this tournament to quit the match, your rating will keep the same, and you could be released to attend other tournament

thanks

it is quite normal at tournament, the player lost the 1st game do not want to waste time for the 2nd game, she/he feel there is no chance to beat the opponent, so let it be.

Hmm, something might have gone wrong with the setup.  The two pairings which show completed are showing one normal game, and one game finished on move 1 with the player who lost the normal game resigning from the 2nd game.

Was it supposed to be two real games per player, or what?
