Lost Cities Tournament - Premium Needed?

[brisdaz]

I've entered this tournament - https://en.boardgamearena.com/#!tournament?id=9457 but don't have premium. Do I need it? What happens if I'm organized to play with another non premium member? We both lose automatically?

Welcome brisdaz,

don't worry. You can play these tournament games without being premium member and you don't loose automatically. You just cannot start "Lost Cities"-Tables or Tournaments yourself.

When joining tournaments please always check the set options (1 round/3 rounds) and available time per player and decide then, if you can serve your games. I personally prefer at least 7 days per match / 3.5 days per player for 1 round games and 15 days per match / 7 days per player for 3 round games. On tournament games no additional time is added per move! It is like playing chess in real time with a chess clock.
