Waiting for next game of tournament and I left somehow

I entered my first tournament tonight.  Won my first game and was looking forward to the second one.  I thought, "I'll check out the tabs within the tournament." Standing, Chat, and Games.  And then I heard a "blip" and was out of the tournament.  I didn't click out of it.  I'm assuming I automatically lose my next four games based on other issues I've read here.  So I'd like to know if you can rejoin and why this happened.  I'm quite perplexed.

I just had the same problem!
Waiting for round #4 in a rating limited Swiss and got a notice that I’ve lost since I didn’t show up! Would prefer to even get a chance to play, but the game didn’t launch at all.
Weird since I saw that 3 games was still going in round #3 - while waiting.

Also miss a bug report button in the mobile app. Everything is talking about the desktop layout in the forum - in a mobile first design world. Please create a help section for mobile app users, that don’t talk about hovering or non existing help icons.

Tournaments require a minimum number of players to start. I believe it's 4 for a Swiss and 5 for an Arena
