How does a tournament get started?

I signed up for a 15/10 Rapid Swiss.  The information indicates Round 1 of 5.  And an 0/1 by name and all the other players.  How does it get started?  I clicked Challenge, but that seemed to be a regular game not one within the tournament.   Thanks for any help.

If a round has already started, which is what the Round X of Y indicates, then you either joined after the event started or the tourney could not see your client connected during pairing (temp disconnection or playing a game). That's also why you were 0/1.
