If a player makes no move and times out in a tournament via automatic TO (2 days after time expires), is the game rated or unrated?

unrated, points awarded for the tourny is the way i understand it.

Really? So if I'm the other guy (playing against the player who's timing out), my rating doesn't go up unless I claim the timeout win myself? Interesting.

By the way, my opponent in two games of a tournament timed out more than two days ago, but the system hasn't automatically timed him out yet. Is that supposed to happen? Does it happen often? Is there usually a delay?

The automatic timeouts doesn't work.

Another round in a tournie with 3/7 started August 26. One of my groups members didn't start at all. The two skulls appeared this morning, 10 days after, and I was able to skull him out.

What automatic is that?

Auto TO occurs 2 days after the skull appears (as mentioned in the original post).

It makes no difference how the game is lost. The important thing is that less than 2 moves were made. If so, then the game is unrated.

That's make perfect sense. Now I understand completely. Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding of the automatic timeout.

My last move in a tourney game (1-day timeout, no timebank) was on Aug. 31, the skull appeared on Sept. 1, and auto-TO didn't occur until this morning, Sept. 7. Must be a bug in the system somewhere.

What's unrated about them? I just won one by auto-TO and my rating went up per usual.

What move were you on? I think that other user is talking about a game with 3 or less moves. Those games shouldn't adjust your rating.
