bug - tournament does not start

In the first tournament I canceled after waiting about 10 minutes and nothing happened, I made a second attempt 15 minutes later and the same thing happened. It appears to be a LICHESS bug. My connections and the other players' connections were OK!
Were other players present in the lobby? For non-Swiss events, only players in the tournament lobby are paired.
Next time take a screeshot, I think only you were in the tournaments
All swiss tournaments seem to be broken. Players register but then games never start. See for example: lichess.org/swiss/tsuRks5L

Tournament "started" at 10 pm eastern but no games were ever played - even though it shows as "playing right now" on the tournament page.

Also, not sure if this is related or not. When I click on the forum tab I get "lichess.org timeout" and it never connects. I can go to the forums if I'm not logged in. But direct links seem to work, i.e. if I go to a particular forum thread on a non logged in browser, then paste the URL into a logged in browser, it works (as it did to allow me to make this post).
Complementing my cases, we were all connected, including chatting through the tournament chat while we were waiting for it to start, and then we all noticed at the same time that the countdown clock had zeroed and the tournament did not start, and several players noticed and commented on this through the tournament chat . This happened in the two attempts we made, and the chat worked normally for everyone!
