set up of tournaments concerning time limits is confusing

Post by Icebrg »

I can't tell you how many tournaments I've joined and end up eventually being expelled for exceeding time limits. I think this is because people don't understand the mechanics of setting up the time limits on tournaments. It's very unclear and if you don't make a move overnight then your time limit goes down to zero and negative. I think this is a problem in tournaments.

It is a problem that people join tournament without checking the time limit.

If people would check carefully then tournaments with bad time limits would automatically have very few participants and hopefully organizers will do better set-up in the future.

A pop-up that warns about very short time-limit when joining a tournament would be good maybe.

Unfortuantly no changes have been implemented to tournaments for nearly 18 months. They don't care about improving the service
