Welcome to the Tournaments Discussion Forum

I have a doubt, if you registered in a tournament of 100 players and there are several groups and Each move has upto 5 days time, then typically such a tournament would run for like 1 yr to finish just the group stage matches??? 

knadi: You are quite correct. Large tournaments do take a long time to finish, especially if players take vacations.

Puchiko- how does taking a vacation affect the tournament. In the middle of a game can a player simply take a vacation for a month?

Deathwish, thats the limit sorry. Only staff can create unlimited and those are for official tournaments.

How can I leave the tournament if I registered exidently?

withdraw

I want to see flag in player information on tournaments pages.

My friend waited for the promise of the organizers of this tournament.

can anyone help?

hi, ive just entered my 1st tournament, playing my opponent as black an white i.e 2 games, i resigned from 1 since i was bound to lose, however, the other game was fairly equal, why was i resigned from both games?, thanx.

Hi there. Could someone please recommend or set up a tournament for beginners ?

The site already calls it multi day tourneys and online chess should be called multi day chess simply because it is.

I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FIRST TOURNAMENT, BUT I HAVE TO GO AWAY FOR A WEEK WILL THIS EFFECT MY SCORING

What is the timeout ratio?

Timeout ratio is the percentage of your games you lose because you ran out of time.

Thx kohai

Don't know if someone has requested this before. Can team matches be allowed to have the option of no vacation? It's only an option on tourneys and not matches

How do new players with no chess.com rating sign up for a tournament?

I used to be pretty good in rated over-the-board play: my Canadian rating was around 2000 back in the 1980s and '90s, but I haven't played competitively for about 25 years now.

I am new to this site and see live tournaments are going every hour.  Is the 15/10 format the longest time control in these tournaments?  Ever have a 20/20 or 30/30 tournament?
