has it ever happened that when you are in a
tournament match that the game hasnt started. this has happened twice to me and once in the quarters

it just stays on practice when both of us are there

another time both of us were there and it was still of practice. 3 mins later he got dqd?
im really confused about that? what is wrong?!?!?!?!?!

yeah it happened to me before. i left it too late to accept the invite i think and i accepted it on the cut off point. i got in the room but the game didnt start. then at the end of the time limit i got dqed for non attendence. Maybe that has happened to you.

Quite a few times this has been reported one of the two players entered the room by finding the game in the room list and "watching" the game. You need to ensure you and your opponent enter the room by clicking the invite.

Invites will be automatically removed after 3 minutes. You can get audible warnings for tournament invites which you enable via options.

Nothing need to be done, just accept the invite right away!

Seriously, saying you are in another game etc is no excuse. You know when the invites are coming if you keep an eye on the tournament page, you know you have 3 minutes from when you get the invite (plenty of time to finish the average game) and then you get yet another reminder with about 30 seconds to go.

Maybe it should be changed to 30 seconds to accept the invite or your out, with no reminders.

That way people wont be tempted to try and finish something else first...

just like to say, i did accept the invite and it said beannie joins beannie v 'user' as a player. i wasnt watching my game. i did leave it too late but it let me enter as it must have been a split second before the invite dissappears.

if there are only a few balls left in a game i always attempt to finish it and im sure im not the only person
