I recently timed out two games that my opponent chose not to move. Even though he didn't move should'nt i still be able to get points for the win because it was a tounrament game? If you can't tell im new with tournaments

No the games don't affect your rating until after 3 moves, regardless of tournament status.

Which is actually until 2 moves [each] have been made.
I believe you still get tournament win points though.

Actually you have been timed out in tournament games in the April Quartets. All of these counted into points, since you made more than two move each.

Probably you refer to Clan games
Game 4054630 and Game 4054631

both of those weren't developed enough for giving points. But your clan still gets the points for the clan match
