    Ok, so if someone withdraws from a tourney the basically resign all their games.  Ok, I didn't know it showed up as a resignation.

    He/She withdrew BQ - Which is his/hers perogative ... and trying to guess why only invites needless speculation. Let it go.Wink

    Why would someone (d4c4_KID) resign all their games at round 2?
