Gold Membership Help Plz!!

thx patzer that helped a lot and now i know a lil more about managing a tourney;but i really didnt see how many I COULD BE IN AT 1 TIME? bc i know i can only b in 1 at 1 time on basicbut as gold how many?

pfbdfan, that was answered at the link Patzer24 provided. You can play in 10 member-created tournaments (most of them) as a SILVER or GOLD member.
I am thinking about Becoming a gold member because i love to play in tournmants but can be in 1 at a time as a basic member,so my question is:does any1 know how many Tournaments i can join at one time as a gold member?
thx,
pfbdfan
