Board Game Arena

many opponents are missing in a tournament. this happened often.
So I suggest that competitors need to check-in before tournament starts, let's say 5mins.
For those who haven't check-in, meaning they are not free or online in the site.
So they will be kick out of the competition. And the phenomenon of no opponents will be reduced.

I'm not sure I agree they should have to check-in beforehand, but I think the 10-minute wait is far too long. I've seen people show up 9 minutes late for the first round and it really ruins the tournament for everyone.

No more than 5 minutes should be given, in my opinion. So I agree with you something should be changed, I'm just not sure I agree in checking-in beforehand.

Cheers,
