Why is this happening?

It happens on every tournament. Why? Chess.com staff, please do fix it if you can.

what is the problem?

Names are beneath their pictures. Its kinda distracting to look at.

it does not happen to me, must be something you just have  

Ok, its fixed now. Thanks Chess.com staff!

Well thanks for giving the notification of this 6 months later  It's fixed now, though

It's ok this time, just don't make that "mistake" again

 We both know I didn't mean that

don't be so damn anal

just let this die....

Newby question here: When I see Tournaments what does x|y mean? 1/0? What a surprise! I had no idea you could win by getting your King to the center of the board. How can I tell when this is true when viewing a tournament?

About the x|y part:

For example 15|10, the "15" is the number of minutes you have to play the game. The "10" is the number of seconds added to the time after each move. Suppose you made your 1st of the game after 3 seconds after the game started. So, your time should be then 14 minutes and 57 seconds/14:57, but because of the "10 second increment", your time will be 15:07. This applies to 3|2, 5|5, or any games containing  increments.

For the tournament part, I think these 2 links should help you understand:
