You can only be registered for one tournament at a time. You must not have withdrawn from the first one.
Registration not available (another competition) (FIXED)

lol I know I already edited everything to say it's fixed on the day I posted that minutes after, I don't think I can delete forum posts
goes the same for replies, I'm pretty sure. not sure if you can edit them (replies) though
Think chess.com forces you to play certain tournaments to balance the numbers
A bit ago, I was trying to join a couple of Swiss tournaments, but for every single one I tried, this message saying "Registration not available (another competition)" popped up. Like anyone would, I went to Google for some answers and found a couple of forums, though they didn't help much. Here's a picture of the message for clarity:
The previous tournament I joined, which was also a Swiss tourney, worked, and there are also a couple things I'm sure is unrelated:
1. It's not for a specific tournament. I tried almost every Swiss tournament in the current list and none worked.
2. It's not related to rating. Some don't even have rating boundaries and I'm rated below 1200 regardless.
3. It's not due to not playing enough games. I have like 1500 or so games to this account so that's definitely enough to join any tourney.
Potential reasons:
1. There's a limit to amount you can join? I'm not sure if there is, but so far today, I've joined 2 tournaments and that could be the maximum, seems peculiar though.
2. I don't have a 2nd potential reason
If anyone can help troubleshoot this, that would be great. If not, I'll probably contact support regarding this issue. Hopefully someone can help. Thanks.
edit: before you comment, it's fixed now, it was just that I was in a previous tournament and my withdrawal didn't register. I'm stupid
