The waitingroom

I can´t pick up games from the waitingroom. There is no clickable links or names. How is the procedure, what am I doing wrong!

As far as I know the procedure is: 1. You click "Register" for a waiting room that interests you (two ways: via the common waiting room, or below "Rated games" in a game page. At least I think these lead to the same result). 2. You wait until you are automatically paired up with someone with a compatible (same variant, fitting rating ranges) waiting room entry. I think you need to wait some time even if you could basically be paired up automatically, but I don't know how long. I haven't used the waiting room much, I'm playing tournament games only.

I wrote "even if you could basically be paired up automatically", but I meant "even if you could be paired up immediately"

Thank you urmaul. Just as the procedure is with tournaments. That makes sense to me.. :)

There tend to be more players in monthly cups, but of course availability varies with the game. :)

It also appears that once the server pairs you up with someone, you need to re-register in the waiting room -- is that correct?

And the # of games per opponent only applies "per registration"? That is, if I indicate only 1 game per opponent, it does NOT mean that the server will never again pair me up with that gamester.

If you didn't ask to put 5 games in it (choice during registration) it pairs you up once. You can also indicate to play 5 games and not against same player. If your game with that players ends, and still both have an open ticket you will be paired up again.
