I played a daily chess game and dominated in it, but somehow I lost on time (I didn't in any other games)  and I had mate in 1. I lost rating points when I should have won them. Also, it was part of a tournament, and because of that, someone else wont be able to move on.

The auto time-out protection works by automatically activating vacation mode when you run low on time.  However, that's a no-vacation tournament, so the auto time-out protection doesn't help you.

I see. I thought the tournament was a vacation tournament
