Automatically entered into a tournament?

I was just finishing up a Live Chess game when suddenly another tab opened on its own and I was playing in some random tournament game that I had not entered. As I was preoccupied and didn't want to play that game, I just resigned. This has happened multiple times and it's starting to get bothersome for my attempts to raise my rating. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

When you click on the graph to accept a challenge, is it possible you accidentally clicked one of the tournament icons?

It was a 10 minute game, and a tournament as well. I didn't really want to play either a short game or a tournament. Kohai, to my knowledge I did not click the graph. Maybe my browser is just buggy or something. Eddy, thank you; I did not realize that withdrawing from the game/tournament saves the rating.

Live chess tournaments work differently to turn based ones.

If you leave a live chess tournament using the 'withdraw' option that shows top right of the main chat area and on the right side of the top tournaments tab it'll only affect the current game you're playing, not any of the others you'd have in that tournament.
