When somebody registers as a substitute and gets an invitation to play in
an event, he should be informed how many boards are left. I found myself
playing in a 16 bd match right from the first board, when I did not have so
much time. Had I known that I have to play 16 boards, I could have rejected. After accepting, If I quit, my TCR suffers

In situations like this,its better to err on the side of caution and not register at all unless you feel you
have ample time to complete the event to its conclusion. Common sense I would say.

Is there a problem with my suggestion? BBO tournies can be anywhere between 6 to 24 boards. If I am prepared to play upto 10 boards, (close to one hour), is there anything wrong?
