Tournament Auto Start

Avatar of southernrun

I recall signing up for a tournament that just started but never got notice as I checked and it wasn't set to auto start. If a tournament is set in such a way, how do you get notice of it beginning. To confuse matters more, I checked the line up and I'm not in the tournament so not sure what happened. Appreciate any input

Which tournament was it?

I often start tournaments when the numbers stop increasing, not when the time runs out. No one was removed from the tournament I just started, and I've never removed anyone other than the automatic removal that happens for out-of-ratings-range players.

the current one vs Australian U1200. If in future tournaments and not auto start, how are people notified the tournament has started?

If you're in the tournament you should get a notification from Chess.com, if not then you hear nothing.

No worry, wondered more about the auto start option. I’ll catch the next tournament. Maybe I was dreaming that I joined it 😂

the current one vs Australian U1200” This sounds like a match and not a tournament. If we had more players register than them, some of our players will drop off the bottom.

That explains that then.
