I joined my first live Tournament (yeah! ), but in the fourth round (it was a 5-round 10|0 Blitz Swiss (<1199) tournament), my opponent - who was White - did not show up. So after waiting 10 minutes I expected to win the game on time (always frustating way to win a game ). However the game remained active (with my opponent's clock on 0), so I was afraid that I would miss the next round and eventually pressed the back button (Android app). I was asked if I wanted to quit the game, and since I had no choice, I clicked Yes.
After that I was apparently removed from the tournament completly, and the 'tournament list' in the app was completly empty (even no other tournaments were shown)
When the tournament was finished I check my game archive and saw that the game where my opponent didn't show up was even counted as a loss for me!
Questions:
1) Is this a bug in the app?
2) Can I get my rating points back for that game?
3) When my opponent didn't show up I got the "... Thanks for your patience " message where it also says that no-show people will be excluded for future tournaments. I hope that I am not also seen as a 'no-show' for round 5 and will be excluded as well. If so, please remove me from that list

You should write to support@chess.com and tell them all that, which app you are using, what device you are using and its operating system, etc.
