BUG: Playing a game before tournament starts

Right but again that's a blitz and a bullet not two 1 minute games.

The right action should be withdraw the user or pause it not start a game to lose on abort by server.

IMHO the right action is what lichess does: if you're playing another game, you are in the arena but you don't get paired. And a blue bar lets you decide whether you want to resume the arena or pause it.

Now if you happen to have 2 different tabs open, one for a game and the other for the arena, well then you're asking to be paired. This is also expected behavior IMHO.

@pepellou You have a point for some users. Although I don't think I had two tabs opened. But even If I do, I am just looking at the tournament information I am not necessarily asking to be paired.

The right approach should be not pair a player who is currently playing a game. Such player should be withdrawn.

No, you did hit the join button. Otherwise, you wouldn't get paired.

And that's exactly what happens... The only way you'll get paired is when you intentionally go to the tournament page, either clicking on the resume button of the blue bar or manually navigating there (which you may do on a 2nd tab but that's your call - if you try to navigate on the same tab with a game in progress you'll see a confirmation dialog to abandon the current game).

@pepellou Okay then.
