My profile says I still have one tournament going even though it was years ago. This is stopping me from entering a new one I assume. I can't even access it on the app to let you know which tournie it is. Whats happening in this tournament?

I don't see anything open. Your last tournament finished 3 years ago.

I am not with the staff. I have no special access.

But all I can see is that you have 1 game currently going on and that it is not in a tournament.

You should be able to do tourneys on the app. As far as I know, both the iOS app and Android now support both Live and Daily (iOS didn't used to but I think it has been added).

This tournament is still showing as in progress - https://www.chess.com/tournament/tropheacutee-de-la-dame-de-brassempouy  I can see you have been eliminated from it, if you go to the home page can you see an option to withdraw?

You should be free to participate in another tourney after being eliminated from that one... i dunno why, but the system somehow sees you as still in that tourney. Having been eliminated there should be no harm in withdrawing...

Well, the Tournament Director closed their own account 2 years ago, after the tournament had already been going for 2 years...

I wonder what the record for longest running tournament is? This must be pretty close!
