Won on time & withdraw

Posted by jootoo on Monday, Jan 19 at 7:24am

Hi, the 100th player will join soon and then this tournament start.

I like to share the below information with you, please ignore it if you know it before.

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, and you wish to attend other tournament, suggest to click "withdraw" on this tournament to quit, your rating will keep the same.

thanks

Isn't it my right to be on vacation? Do you need my health certificate? Frown Frown

Why should I punish gshubert? No sense...

If I could play with my phone I won't be on vacation, but it seems that Chess.com doesn't work with my Blackberry Cry

I am sorry for the other players.

I guess my current opponent (who's been on vacation several times in this first game alone) is punishing me for my previous comments about players who slow the tournament down by taking vacations. If I could drop out of this thing without taking a loss or getting a draw, I'd do it... just to hand the problem on to someone else. At this point though, I consider it a responsiblity to attempt to keep him from going on and slowing the tournament down further.

Great; pairing 17, both players lose their game on time, no moves made. Both advance to the next round!

Ahem, isn't there a rule they are both out?

I too don't understand how the two (who appear to be taking turns on vacation) can be so inconsiderate. If they don't have time to play they probably should graciously withdraw.

What the heck is happening with this tournament?  Is the TD on holiday too?  Should we all withdraw, or is something going to be done to move this along?

Is "papergod" permanently on vacation ? Since this tournament started my children have grown up and left home, there is a new U.S. president and electricity has been discovered.

There must be a way of disallowing such a selfish approach. There is no apparent concern for anybody else.Frown

Hi, after I keep working as a crazy bee, 3 of 13 tournaments I created for different rating players have started, after 100 players joined, much earlier than my expect - no need to wait 7 days.

there are 74 players at this tournament, if you do not mind, let's start it after the 100 player join, but not wait for another 6 days.

thanks
