You may not be in 2 tournaments at the same time. If you are PLAYING at a table in the finals of a previous tour then you may jump the next tour.
However, if you are still playing in the previous finals when it is your turn, you have 5 minutes to get to the table or you DQ.
Purposefully disqualifying in the previous tournament will result in a disqualification in the new tournament.
The Hosts Are Glad To Help By Removing Players When Asked,
But This Is Not A Perfect Process. They May Miss The Post, Or Get Swamped By More Pressing Issues, So In Busy Tours, With A Lot Of Chat,
It Is Safest To Remove Yourself If You Are Still Playing In Another Tour.
In Tournaments, Both Players Are To Post In The Lobby (Host Name ****** Winner // Non-Winner)
The Host Reports The Win/Loss To Case's Ladder, So Posting Your Own Loss Would Be A Duplicate.
Posting Individual Lost Games Is For Non-Tournament, Or "Ladder" Games, That Count For Case's Statistics
RULES TO FOLLOW Do Not Leave A Game Early When Losing Or Intentionally DQ (Disqualify) To Play In The Next Tournament.
No Abuse, Accusations, Name Calling, Or Upsetting People In The Lobby.
Concerns, Disagreements, And Disputes Should Be Taken To A Table Or IM, And Kept Out Of The Lobby.
When A Host Makes A Judgment Call, That Call Stands.
Types Of Tournaments
SINGLE ELIMINATION In a Single Elimination tour, you are out the first time you lose.
DOUBLE ELIMINATION
