Tournaments
Sort:
Thats funny, I thought Chess.com is a friendly community where we come together around a common love for chess. Are you sure its a bug that Arabs or Americans are allowed to enter your tournament?

yeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhh. that is a big problem. sorry about that. you will need to cancel that tournament and re-invite people. i'll have it fixed before you are even done re-inviting. very sorry about that! :)
inviting people from only scandinavian countries is sort of like racism. the countries people live in don't have anything to do with their eligibility for the tournament
Sheesh, enough with the accusations.
Come on, folks: Ever heard of European Championships? It's something they arrange every 2nd year in sports like soccer. Neither Arabs, Americans nor any other non-Europeans are allowed in the tournament. And, no; that's not racism.
My tournament was supposed to be a fun "Scandinavian Tournament".
That has absolutely nothing to do with racism!
(btw: I didn't close the tournament and am now arranging it with 39 players...)
I was arranging a tournament, aimed at players from the Scandinavian countries.
People from everywhere joined the tournament, so I kicked them out. The list of people showed 12 people when I started the tournament, but suddenly all 39 who had signed up at sometime (both those who were kicked out, and those that were not) were suddenly in the game.
You should fix this bug quickly...
