103rd tournament started but not entered
I didn't enter the 103rd tournament as i'm already playing games, but GK entered me anyway, and I was surprised to see the 6 new games appearing this morning.

Has this happened to people before?

I will play the games, but would like for this to not happen again.

Best regards

According to our records, you have signed up to play in 103rd GK tournament on 3-Feb-2013 at 23:34:50 PST.

We always send a reminder/announcement message several days prior to the start of the new tournament. Please make sure to check via the included link whether you have previously signed up and if you still like to play.

103rd tournament started but not entered
No that is not right.

I signed up for the 102nd tournament on 3-Feb-2013 at 23:34:50 PST, which started the next morning on Feb 4. As far as I know, the 103rd tournament was not listed at that time! Right now, for example, the April tournament is available to sign up, but the one for May is not listed.

I got an email reminder the tournament was starting, but I was not entered! My tournament page had rightfully shown that I had not signed up for the 103rd tournament, so it didn't matter to me and I deleted the email.

Check your records again. Feb 3 was not a sign up day for the 103rd tournament.

The tournament sign-up page switches to the new tournament approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of the current tournament. Perhaps you thought you were signing up for the 102nd tournament, when in fact the page was already accepting sign-ups for the 103rd tournament.

103rd tournament started but not entered
I signed up for the 102nd tournament on 3-Feb-2013 at 23:34:50 PST, and am still playing some of the games, so I definitely signed up for the tournament that I was intending.

Also I only sign up for one tournament at a time, and I only sign up in the last few days before one begins.

GK made a blunder and signed me up for the 103rd tournament by mistake.

I am reporting this here because of this happening, and so hopefully the software can be corrected so it doesn't happen again, to me or to anyone else. Also I will be sure to not sign up in the last hour or so before one begins!
