Tournament Structure and etiquette

Sort:

I signed up for a tournament not knowing what to expect.  I expected that it would be one game at time, but I actually ended up being bombarded with eight separate games. 

 I definitely can't play eight games at once.  How can I tell what the structure of a tournament is so that I don't get caught in this predicament again?

 Also, would it be rude to resign most of the games or what is the best way to handle this situation?

 Thanks!

If you haven't really started moving you could abortinstead of resigning that way it doesn't affect your rating.  I just entered a tournament also finding out the same information you found out.

With 3 days to make a move in any given game,why would you feel pressured to play 8 games,you have 5 or 6 going at present.??

Same for me. Some are comfortable with any number of games and some prefer a lot fewer - nobody the same.
