Plus someone said they did not like to play rated games for new games which might be unbalanced - so here is a quick unrated tournament for those who don't want to mess up their ratings yet:

turnberry1: play in tournaments of the specific game type because you usually play multiple games of the same type with people. You can also look up the bkr ratings page on the game and try inviting people. Depending on your style of play, the latter option can be better. If you like a fast game, then the latter option might be better because there are people who play a LOT of games at a time and that tends to draw out their moves.
tarcellius: There seems to be reasontobelieve that the one-tournament-per game restriction was removed without an announcement. Also, the fact that you are currently playing two Pente tournaments is strong evidence of this, unless you were a Rook at some point in the past. I would recommend against upgrading your membership, unless you want to do so for other reasons. It would be a shame if Fencer's habit of inadequate documentation led directly to an increase in his profits.
You're listed as being signed up for the tournament in question, and (while I could be mistaken) I believe that if the restriction were in place you would have been unable to sign up at all. I expect you'll be able to play without needing to upgrade.
tarcellius: I wouldnt expect you to resign, we jsut thought that ,maybe you had completed your round in one of the tournaments, and if u were unfortunate not to progress to the next, which is not the case in your situation, you could have asked Fencer to remove you from it.
tarcellius: I bought into a knight once. Then I let it run its course and saw its limitations pretty quickly. It is worth buying a rook membership. This message also goes out to all other non-rooks, based on impartial experience...
mybirthdaysoon: One of the earlier posts implied that maybe I entered one of my tournaments as a pawn before upgrading to a knight and entering another tournament. That might have happened and tricked the check.
As luck would have it, I'm waiting for the next round to start in both the tournaments I'm already playing. So I can't easily resign my way out - and I'm reluctant to do so after playing to get there. :)
So I'm probably faced with upgrading to rook to be in the new tournament. But thanks to everyone for clarifying that the restriction does apply to this situation.
