I think I've played a few bullet / blitz games before (I used to have a different account on LiChess before, but I lost the password or something) -- very very fast and exciting!
Unfortunately, something has come up and I wont be available to play when the tournament starts. I'm going to follow and try to participate in the next on if this is something that's fairly frequent?
That is fine. For getting some payout you have to play at least one game. And getting the king of all of us you need every change to get some points :) :)
