so, i organised a swiss tournament which was private means i can only be joined by the link. so we 4 friends we're going to play this tournament at 12 pm today... everyone registered and we were waiting for tournament getting started... but at 12 pm... the link won't work... i tried everything to join the tournament but it won't work.. it's sucks... this apps sucks... now i thought it might just be a glitch or something... so i made another tournament for pm with max players of 4... now as you know it's a shareable swiss tournament but suddenly 2 unknown players join my tournament that I organised which was infact private... idk how... so I've to cancel the tournament... why does my tournament just disappeared out of thin air at the high time and how did others joined my tournament.... i and my friends were very pissed off. why can't chessdotcom handle tournament? why so much glitches? why?

This should work.:river If the tournament didn’t happen, it’s usually because some parameters were set in a way that restricts participation. To create and share a Swiss tournament on chess.com: Create a Tournament → Tournament to Share → Swiss Tournament. Then set your parameters (number of rounds, time control, privacy settings) and share the link with your friends. If unknown players joined, it’s either because one of your friends shared the link or because the tournament was not set to private. Please note that Swiss tournaments run in rounds. If there are not enough players to complete the required rounds, the tournament will be cancelled automatically. Unlike Arena tournaments, Swiss tournaments do not allow an unlimited number of games within a time

@serench im one of the players in tournament, and yes some unknown players joined the tournament whom we don't even know and didn't even shared link with 'em, this app really sucks, after all this chaos, we had to carry out the tournament on lichess.
