Hi

it seems like if it's possible to be asked to join a game/RT, without having registered for it. Is that a fact.

regards Flemming

4 types of games exist in littlegolem: Championship, Monthly Cup, Rated Tournament and Unrated.

1. Chaampionship games. Once you register and you play a championship, you are considered registerd and play at the next one automatically. (there is of course plenty of time to unregister in between 2 championships).

2. Monthly Cups. You can register in any number of Monthly cups every month. If you win one or more of them, you automatically play at the next round (when all monthly cup tournaments finish) and in the next round (if you win again) until there is one group.

3. Rated Tournaments. You register for one rated tournament, you play one tournament. When it starts (it may take from 1 min to 1 month or even more), you can register for another. No automatic registration.

4. Unrated Games.

-A. By invitation. You can send to a specific opponent and you can accept or rejext others' inviations.

-B. Using the waiting room. Make an arrangement (game, opponent rating, number of opponents) and wait for someone to start a game.

If a tournament with rated games (championship, monthly or rated) starts and you have no time to play or just changed your mind, you can also resign the games without making any moves so as not to lose rating. Take notice that there were some implications in the implementations with the gomoku, dvonn and go games when one resigned at the first move and did lose rating. (because moves are already automatically played in these games like dvonn with random start and go with handicapp).
