Help
I was registered to play in a Robot tourney, 11:45PM Vegas time, Jan 12, 2009. Apparently that tourney was destroyed for some reason and I never got pulled in to play. Also, I could not see it in the running/complete to start list.
I never got any notification of cancellation etc.

Robot tournaments ( free or otherwise ) and Money Bridge tables ( free or otherwise ) use robots that run on our machines.
I make a guess as to how many machines I need at any hour, based on prior usage patterns. I tweak this guess every week or two.
When I underestimate demand at a particular hour ( or there is an unexpected surge in demand at a particular hour ), we cancel free Money Bridge Tournaments rather than run them without enough capacity.
The players are not notified (sorry, will see if i can sneak this in ). Each such event is logged, and we get an email, and we use it to refine our guesstimates regarding demand.
