Hey,
maybe a weird question, but i just signed in for a tournament and i don't understand a few things

First of al where do i see when it starts (on mobile)?
second of al what do i do when it starts i understand it is just chess, but i am just wondering how many matches it is in a day?
Last of al what does happen when you win a tournament?

thank you already for your help and kindness :)

The games will show up on your mobile. The ones requiring your move first. You can set your notification preferences to get an email when it is your move. (Sometimes people don't sign on very often and they lose on time without playing a move.)

The number of matches depends entirely on what tournament you signed up for. Sometimes you can have 20 or more games starting at once.

New players often sign up for multiple tournaments and can find themselves overwhelmed if more than one starts up pretty close to each other.

If you should win, you will get a little electronic trophy. It will show up in your profile.

As far as I know, the tournament software will exclude everyone not under 900 from the tournament.

Out of curiosity, @aappen21, which under-900 tournament did you sign up for? I'm definitely under 900, and I didn't know there were tourneys for anyone under 1000. Bedankt!
