A tournament is a bit of a commitment- it messes things up for others when someone withdraws. That said I have no idea if the two are correlated, and you should still be able to play, just you have to wait 5 mins between games.
Why cant i play?
Sort:
So i was just playing in a lightning tournament but I grew tired of it and wanted to play normal chess. So I withdrew, logical thing to do right? Well withdrawing is against fair play policy or something cause now it wont let me play? I did nothing else wrong, i love this website and would never be inappropriate in any way. please help me! - much <3 - God_of_Strategy
