I have this issue, too, but sadly no answer. I contacted chess.com support but was only referred to their help pages.
Same issue, don't know how to solve this issue!!Chess.com doesn't have any answers either
I have same issue but opposite, after tournament is over, after every game I play (outside of tournament) the page shows the tournament standings. This continues after clicking leave the tournament and refreshing the page...

Checked my game review, and then I could not go back to the tournament?
How do we go back to the tournament?
P.S. there was no new game which launched for the next round.

Hi Yash,
If you accidentally closed the tournament page, try reopening it from your game history or the tournament section on the platform. If no new games are launched, refresh the page or check the tournament lobby. If the issue persists, contacting support might resolve it.

I was Rank #5 in the tournament and I can't get back to it. So disappointed in chess.com.
So this issue has been going on for years without a fix ?
That's just disappointing
I was first place in a tournament and the wifi suddenly changed and I was kicked out of the tournament and unable to join back

Around a year ago tournaments had the odd glitch but generally ran smoothly. You could jump around check the leaderboard, watch the remaining games going on before the next round and it was really enjoyable. Now it's really bad. Tournament usually disappears from sight after round 1. Sometimes your still in a tournament and a game pops up out of nowhere. Other times you sit around waiting for the next round that never happens. The tournaments used to be my favourite thing on the site. If they don't fix it up I doubt I will be paying for a 3rd year of membership. 1st year was good, this last year not good.
