25th official chess.com tournament

I had entered the 25th official Chess.com tournament, in the 1801-2000 section.

My rating temporarily rose above 2000 and on the day the tournament started i was "auto-moved" because my rating no longer fitted that tournament.

However, the 2001-2200 tournament didn't start, and i can see no record of it. What has happened to this tournament? Has it been scrapped for players over 2000?

I sorted the participants alphabetically and couldn't find your name.

 

p.s. You are also not in the 1801-2000 section.

no, that's what i mean, i was "auto-moved" because my rating had temporarily went over 2000, but it seems i was auto-moved to nowhere

There was an issue that happened yesterday on the tournaments, its not just you. Some were supposed to go to a different rating category and didn't end up in any tournament at all, some stayed where they were and should have been moved. I'm trying to sort this out :(

Can't see how you do that kohai, games must be well under way...

The member of staff who creates the official tournaments is on vacation but working part time while hes away. Setting those up and arranging for players to all be in the correct group for their rating criteria isn't something I've done on the site so I don't know for this where the error happened. At least if I can find out I may be able to prevent it happening again if nothing else :(
