dragon27 closed his account? Does this mean anything for the tournament?

How come the games are not rated?

What's the fun of playing unrated tournaments?

The 960 has always had its own rating, and is really a chance to beat those strong know-all-openings players (at least a small chance). I took only pairs who have a high standard rating, so unfortunately I think I am will not survive long AND won't get any rating adjustment for that...

this is not an official Chess.com tournament and i don't think this is going to start because dragon27 account is closed.
