ratio

can someone inform me what is this ratio under 10% that i need to have before i can enter tournaments/

If you lose a game by running out of time (because you don't make a move in the required time period) it is called a "time out". If you have played 10 games and two of them have timed out, then your time out ratio is 20%. You need to have a time out ratio of less than 10%. So, don't time out.  

If you look at your stats you'll see what your current time out ratio is. You have timed out in 7 games and your ratio is 47% which is pretty horrible.

People don't like it when people time out like that because it spoils tournaments. You need to complete more games and not time out so that your time out ration reduces. Assuming you do not time out again then you will need to have completed 71 games so that your ratioj is less than 10%.

Basically you need to address the reason why you are letting your game stime out.

ps - I have played more than 700 games. Lost a few. But never timed out once.

the reason i time out is because i am either on holiday somewhere with no pcor internet cafe's nearby or off on some trip and i dont have time to complete it. but thanks for this info.

very much apprecieated

Just to inform you. If you buy a membership, no matter what type, your account will automaticly go on vacation when you are about to run out of time, to prevent you from loosing because of timeout. It has saved my ass a lot of times when im busy.

Hi guys,

I did not know that memberships protect you against timeouts.  That is a nice feature and worth the price of a membership by itself.  Thank you Simendo for telling us.

Watch your backrank.
