I think that only happens if you're actually on BGA at the time. Maybe there's a setting for it to notify by email, but my experience was I only saw them very rarely, and eventually that was the conclusion I drew (that you have to be online).

So I made a bug report that you can upvote.

Is the "automatic-join process" broken again? In a Swiss tournament, I have one table that was created a couple of hours ago but hasn't started yet because one player has not manually joined it.

I have not noticed this problem return at my own tournaments.
