I had this problem once. I got the tourny invite, and I joined the room but my opponent wasn't in yet, so I left and wanted to go back there about 1 minute later, but the game wouldn't let me in as a player. I could watch it, lol, but not join it as a player. I think this should be fixed somehow..

I believe this is there to stop people from leaving and coming back anyway. If everybody did this, then games would never get started because one player would join, see theres no one in, leave, and then for the other person to join, and it happen over and over again. Of course, if you enter a tournament, you only have 3 minutes to wait until the invite expires anyway. So maybe just have it so you can re-enter anytime during those 3 minutes, but once those 3 minutes are up, you cant enter as a player anymore.

Of course after the 3 minutes are up, you can't join.. but I was talking about those 3 minutes ..

so why not just stay in the game room then. what else is there to do in those 3 minutes

lol, yes i understand. that is why i found out about this only lately, because i usually get in and stay there, but it happened to me this time to leave the room and i couldn't go back. i'm just saying someone should fix this

It's not a problem, I believe that is the intentional system.

The games are of course only open to the two players involved.

It's pretty much tournament rules, when you enter the game, you are either there for the duration, or you forfeit.

I don't think it is ideal for the full 3 minutes to be used at the begining, it is enough time for players to finsh their previous games. And it does then limit the amount of time players have to complete the round.

This is just my opinion, this could well be an idea to be implemented.... If of course people feel they have the same problem.

dont leave

yer don't leave but i still know were your coming from and i di believe that it should be dealt with

'Don't leave'? That's the solution? LOL ..of course I WON'T leave, now that I know I can't rejoin.
But since I am one of the players of the game and I am within my 3-minutes time limit, I believe it is my right to go in and out of the room, as long as the game hasn't started yet.
Anyways, thanks to all for your opinions.

did any1 mention 'dont leave'......
