Blocked Users

I've been wondering what happens if you block somebody and you get matched up with them in a team match or tournament?

Nothing, I believe. It's tough, but you have to stick it out.

So, normally, if I block a user, then I definitely will not be paired up with him to play a game, either in Online Chess or in Live Chess. However, tournaments and matches are an exception, in that they ignore the blocked condition. This means that I may be required to play a tournament or team match game against this hypothetical blocked user, and I can do nothing to prevent it. Do I understand this correctly?

Yes.

 that is correct sir.

Thanks, kco. And would I do well to presume that this applies equally in these scenarios?

Situation A: I have blocked a user before the tournament ever started.

Situation B: I complete an entire game against a user in the first round of a tournament, then block the user while the first round finishes; following this, I happen to be paired with this blocked user in the second round, so I must play against him.

possible.
