Nebulous tournament

Sort:
2030Mark

So I'm signed up with 1500+ others to play in a tournament today.

The day is half over.

I click on the tournament and see nothing!

There is NO explanation for who I will be playing against and when I will start.
Thoughts?

Is it a Daily tournament?

Yes.

71st Chess.com Quick Knockouts (1201-1400).

I don't know how or why it is categorized as "daily" but it is.
I guess, you play every day until the tournament is over?

But it's still a mystery as to who I am playing first, at what time,
and how I can access the game?

It hasn't started yet. I think staff manually start those and sometimes they start late

It's a Daily tournament because played have up to one a day, in this case, to make their move when it's their turn.

OK thanks. It's my first tournament and it's all still quite mysterious to me.

There are no instructions on how to actually start playing a game,
when it starts. Also it's billed as starting today but also billed as an October tournament!

For example:

"Start Date: Sep 30, 2024"

"This is the October 2024 Official Chess.com Quick Knockouts Chess.com Tournament."

Can you begin to see why I am confused?
