How long does a tournament last?

The duration varies according to the day of the week, the typical length of a match of the game chosen for the tournament and the popularity of that game on elo and thus the number of expected tournament participants.

A tournament is usually scheduled for a few hours. But don't worry, you don't have to start on time or play all the time. More on that in the following answers.

What does it cost to participate in a tournament?

Participation in a tournament is usually free, but sometimes costs a few Jewelos. How much exactly, is indicated before you choose to participate.

If an entry fee applies, it is already incurred when you sign up and will not be refunded if you do not enter. In any case you will secure a starting place and activate the automatic reminder of the tournament start. In addition, your friends can see that you are planning to participate.
