Okay good people, fill me in. What is this and how do i go about changing it?        [You must have a timeout ratio lower than 10% to play in this tournament.] I've never played in a tournament, but i'm eager to get in there and get slaughtered.  {#emotions_dlg.laughing}

Your timeout ratio is the percentage of your past games that you ran out of time in. You can lower it simply by playing more games and not timing out.

You will find your timeout ratio on the right side of the page here  http://www.chess.com/echess/profile/Alexander-EAW 

All Games
Total Games: 15
In Progress: 6
Timeouts: 3 (20%) 

After 30 completed rated games, without timing out again, your timeout ratio will be 10% (3/30 *100 = 10)
