I see that when a championship is started, the number of participants shown in the Tournaments page stays the same. And then goes up when more people joion for the next cycle.
Does that mean that anyone entered in one cycle is automatically eneterd in the next cycle unless they remove themselves? I see the advantage in that, but sometimes people leave the site. If they forfeit all the games in the next cycle are they still entered in the one after that?
I notice Earl Heinrichs who forfeited every game in the 3 championship due to not making a single move in any game is now entered in the 4th championship...and not making any moves....
"There's only one stat I was ever concerned about," . "When this guy's in the game, does the score go up in our favor or go against us? And they keep a close eye on the score. They can take little peeks from behind their curtain to see part of the crowd, a few players on the floor, maybe a ref for a chat. A few key metrics can give you an excellent idea of where to look for competitive advantages or shortcomings, but then you have to look.
