 Subject: 41st GK tournament
Message:
I do not wish to participate yet in GK tournaments, I was sent challenges, I let them expire because I could not do anything else. I suffered a loss of points although my opponents did not add any points. This is totally unfair as there was not 3 moves in any game. Why is this?

Should have used the [ withdraw ] button before the next round started.

Thanks but still I did not sign up for the tournament and I only made 1 move, so technically I should not have lost points

[ report abuse ] | Yes you did:

Check out your history.

You came in shared first - that means you advance to the next round, unless you choose to withdraw. You didn't withdraw, therefore there were new games started for the second round.
And if you lose a game, you lose points. That's how it works. However, if you win a game in less than two moves, you will not gain any points. So you lost rating points [standard if you lose], but your opponents did not gain any [since there weren't made enough moves].

The first round of the expert section has been finished for a while already - and no second round started.

Presumably waiting for the advanced section to finish in case any group winners get bumped up to the expert section due to rating limit.

Good one! Had not thought about that. Probably explains it.
