But I'm still playing it's a knockout IV.
My opponent seems to have disappeared, if he's not careful he'll get an automatic timeout. Not a very satisfying way to enter the next round 🙁
How would you like it if there where a Quickfire/Knockout Tounament?
groups of two but only one day to move, maby call it QuickOut or KnockFire?😉
In real tounaments dont they give you a limited time to move and if you dont your timed out? If so it would be the same here, so dont feel bad.

I'm not feeling too bad about him being timed out, it's just that to get through to the next round of a tournament would be a real acheivement for me (and a first), so to do it this way is not quite the same.

It doesn't seem very fair the way the opponents are picked for this tournament. It seems every low player has too play a high player in the first round. I realise that some of these lower ranked players may be very good, as they are new here. But, it is a shame for the rest of us, who might get hammered in the first round. If it was randomly picked then the lower players might have a chance to at least get out of the first round.

The only downside is if you are the weakest player and you beat the highest rated player you get no reward in the next round.
