play online chess |  Subject: Withdrawing
Message:
Hello All:
It seems that you can withdraw from a Tournament but not from a mini-tournament.
What happens if life interfers too much while you are in teh middle of a mini (and these can go on for quite a while given the controls)?
What happens if you withdraw from a regular tournament? Are your games counted as losses.
Thanks in advance,
Gerry

You cannot withdraw from a MT. You lose ALL the remaining games, and your rating takes a dump.

Thanks coyotefan.
What happens if you have to withdraw from a regular tournament? All games count as losses also?

play online chess | Running games or not?
Message:
You are currently playing in the 29th GK tournament (3 running games).
If you are referring to these games, they will be counted as losses if you can�t finish them. It�s impossible to "withdraw" from this group because the games have started already, so you have to finish them somehow (draw offers, resignment, regular end or simply by time-out). If you have a choice it would be fair not ruin the group�s result with your decision.
If you choose to finish these games regularly, but don�t want to take part in the next round (in case you are qualified), please contact the webmaster. A solution will be found without effect on your rating or timeouts in the next round, maybe even the second place in your group can proceed. I had a similar experience in the past, it worked quite well.
If you have signed for the next GK-tournament (starting in May) withdrawing is no problem at all. Just select "tournaments" and navigate to the "withdraw" button.

Thanks misato.
No I will be able to finish my current tournament games. It's just that I will be travelling in the summer and didn't want to start something I couldn't finish.
Seems very hard though to get games against higher rated players unless you play in the tournaments. All my challenges of such players have been declined.
