Why can't I join them? It says I have to be a premium member. I don't like being tricked. When I log in, it says "3 tournaments available for you to join". But yet I can't join them. Why is this?

You cannot join tournaments as a non-subscriber. Russ probably just doesn't want to add the extra code to take the tournament advertisements off of the profile page.

I doubt he even wants to add the code. As it stands it's a perfect incentive for people to subscribe.

The statement that "tournaments are available" is not a lie. They ARE available to you - all you have to do is pay the entry fee, ie a subscription. Why would you think that all the features of the site are going to be open to you for free?

Absolutely. I suspect that the OP is strictly in the 'takeaway' league.

Those were ok, but the 2 games we played where you didn't wear pants still haunt me.
