Board Game Arena

Any idea how I get added to games that I do not add myself to? All the sudden it pops up a new game and I am on the team of players but it's a game I tried once and didn't like

Is that for the same reason as ​ https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33421 ?

That looks like tournament registration. This is different games, ones I do not recall clicking to join a multiplayer turn-based game. That seems really off since it's games I don't particularly like. I play them to not hurt my reputation as a loss only really matters in the XP for that game, right?
just annoying to play games I don't like
