CRY ME A RIVER: Now that was a surprise. Such unexpected attack... The things are clear, the tourney didn't start because 2 pawns were removed who had not enough slots, blame the system, not me, please... Now you think I am some hacker or something and you attack me on public board, hmmm...
Edit: Now I understand that press monitoring lead. But I had no real conflict with you (THE HIT MAN?) You only put me twice to ignore list without reason. Personal should be removed from public boards.
Don't forget pawns need 5 free slots, otherwise the tourney won't start and is deleted with such players removed (would be better if they were removed and the start only shifted forward). Here is one eliminator, where one slot might be enough I believe:

CRY ME A RIVER: Well, I am going to wait a while and explore my other options with tournaments. I will send you a PM if I have a further interest. Thanks for your quick response and help.
The 14th tournament for dummies has just started, but for games that did not have at least 4 players, there is a 10 day grace to see if anyone else will sign up.
This tournament is for players rated at 1500 or below, or unrated - and is a great way to try out new games, or play games you love without being killed by "experts" and such.
Universal Eyes: With the settings how they are now in the tournament, it will not start.
1st place needs to get at least double the entry fee - and to do that with only 4 players in the tournament, first place would need to be set at 50% - which right now it is set at 35%.
I don't think you are allowed to change any of those settings - but maybe Fencer would be able to change the first place price to 50% of the pot instead of 35%.

How about some 'live' ludo? I joined Antje 'action points' tourney and it took quite long to complete all my games (more than week, maybe two) and in section 2 games are going even slower with Antje at the top - no completed games. I could risk another tourney of that type but maybe it's better to gather little fellow to play live tourneys every day. Eventualy losing because lack of time isn't that bad in ludo...
