Tournament Game Aborted?

In a tournament that I played today, I was in the middle of a game when suddenly it said the game had been aborted. It would not let me rejoin the tournament. I checked if I had been flagged for cheating (because that actually happened on my previous account (it was a false accusation)) and I had not, and I played a normal game against another player. It seemed to me that it was just that tournament that I had been stopped from playing. Is there any logical reason for this?
2300 in Rapid, actually. Blitz is not that much faster than Rapid, so there shouldn't be so huge a difference. I would say you have been cheating, which explains all.
I haven't been cheating, that's the problem. Quite often, I've played in front of other people, and they can confirm I have not been cheating. I honestly don't know why the disparity between my ratings is there (I haven't played as much rapid, so I guess that's why it's higher? I dunno), but I have just checked my profile again, and I have not been flagged for cheating. I'm still able to play normal games now, but I was just wondering what on earth happened in that single tournament game.

(In case you wanted to check my previous account, my username was gregheffley123, I'm pretty sure I have similar grades on that one too.)
Okay, I've e-mailed to appeal to the flagging. I presume I just wait for a reply. I have been checking the analyses of my games on this and my previous account and I honestly don't see what could be confused as cheating. I've been playing well, and that's not cheating, unless being good at chess is not allowed...
Whoops, I accidentally posted on my old account. Sorry, I was just checking my gregheffley123 grades on another tab, and so I logged out of SteveMcCarrot. 'gregheffley123' is me, just so you know.
And I'd just like to point out that a grade disparity does not necessarily mean that someone is cheating; after all, savagechess2k, you claimed that I was suspicious because of a gap between my blitz and rapid, but you have 2000 correspondance, but only 1778 in blitz. How about that?
