[SIZE=-1]How Yahoo! Tournaments Work[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1] Automatic Pairing and Reporting
[SIZE=-2]In a Single Elimination Tournament, all of the pairing and the win/loss are automatically reported. If you win a game, you are automatically seeded to the next round to play against the next opponent. If there are openings in the tournament brackets, certain players will receive a "bye," meaning they have no game in that round.
* Please check back to this page to view the latest standings/brackets.*

Round Intervals
[SIZE=-2] The next round begins when all games are completed or when the maximum round time has expired. When the round time expires and there are unfinished games the winner from those games will be the player who had used the least amount of time. Most games have a 15 minute maximum round length. Exceptions are Chess and Pool which are 20 minutes, and Go, Literati, and Backgammon which are 30 minutes.

Automatic Tables Invite
[SIZE=-2]In the start of a new round, players will be automatically invited to the proper table with a message that says, "You have a scheduled game at table X. Would you like to join?" Clicking on "Yes" will automatically sit you in the table with your scheduled opponent. Only games played in these invited tables will be reported to the standings system. Once a game is over, you should exit that table and wait for a new table invite in the next round
* We recommend that you do not Create Tables before the automatic table invite as there is a chance that you might miss the invite and thus lose the round.*[/SIZE]
Forcing Forfeits
[SIZE=-2]If your opponent is a no-show, you can force a forfeit on your opponent. You will automatically win and advance to the next round after the game time expires. In order to force a forfeit, make sure it is your opponent's turn and wait 3-5 minutes.[/SIZE]
Tournament Prizes
[SIZE=-2]Trophies that can be seen in the player's profile page are awarded to the winners of Official Yahoo! Tournaments.[/SIZE]
