Um, okay?
...
I'm lookin' at the tourney page, right now, and unless there's someone else with a BD account who's name is Ice (and who somehow linked themselves to your BD account through your forum name), you're still in the tourney. I noticed something in my account, which I think is what you're talking about, and that's that it doesn't show me as currently active in a tourney. But I'm still enlisted, I think. Prolly just a bug of some kind, not a big deal.

But... not really.
If you remember how tourneys work, the first day is the Scheduling Day. No battles take place on it. It simply exists to out all non-eligible members and to allow people to see whom there first match-up will be against.
So stop making stupid posts, stop talking in all caps, and thank-you Writer for actually taking the slightest bit of effort to know what is going on. * uses the technique Power on writer77 to give more to him *

Okay, sorry. I only did the above cause I knew that either (a) I really had gotten kicked out or something, and thus was properly whining or (b) this was just a really stupid question, and as such, I was increasing my noobishness of the question by presenting it as thus.
Either way, after the first day in a tourney, you are, in fact, supposed to see no active tourneys in your tab? That's where the issue arose.

Well, when in an actual match-up, a Tourney Fighter tab appears that holds your battle data, much like the Battle tab when actually engaged inside of battle.
It is all like "Oh nos!" See, before, there was only one page, and all it ever said is "Not in match-up." Now, there are multiple pages.... and apparently, I did not upload the stub page that said "No Match-Up".
Now I have up an individual scheduling page that shows all of one's activity for each day.

Yeah, I was curious about that...
...is it possible that you could be scheduled more than one activity per day?

Scheduled for more than one activity per day? If you mean >1 tournament, then that's a negative.
Say MintMan, I looked at my BD account about 10:00 PM last night and the battle was "started", although there were no actions - and at that time I could understand it. But now it's 7:10 AM my time, about nine hours after I last checked, and there still have not been any actions taken! Has the tourney been halted due to problems?

It's nice when you ask questions you already know the answer to, git.
As stated at least twice in a topic a day or so ago that you actively participated in, you may not partake in two modes of the same type of fighting at the same time, largely due to the difficulty in distincting the two battles from each other in the code. So, DUH, you are not able to have to tourney bouts scheduled in the same day for that would be two of the same types of fighting types at the same time.
You can set only one AI per day. What sense would it make if you could have two battles but only one AI? Please, Ice, think about these things a little before you go in your blatent attempts to up your post count. You're not fooling anyone
Then again, I can see why you'd ask that seeing how it lists all of a day's slots in the Tourney page saying that you don't have a match up but that once. But, you see, that's the problem. Ems messer'd up on that one thing, the obvious thing.
Anyhoo, a real question would be "Hey, Ems-git, why is the battle log for my current tourney battle not visible? It still links to [username]&battle, thus taking me to my current web battle instead of tourney bout. Also, Ems, why you gotta suck?"

That's what you get when I only test a system with three debugging accounts; it worked fine for them, but not for more than that.
As for Eagle, ignore that. There were some bugging issues I was trying to get resolved.
Two days ago, tournaments worked fine. Then, for some reason, when the script was running today to initialize all battles, it kept freezing up in the middle. What was this reason? I don't know, but while trying to isolate the problem, it went away. I am assuming it was server related.
Anywho, after that and a tournament-log-disappearing fluke, everything went back on track. * uses the technique StoneSave on tournaments to keep more questions -- especially stupid ones that have been asked a thousand times before -- away from it * Now everything should be good... until prizes are handed out.

That Tourney FAQ page still isn't up. I didn't pay attention to the old tourneys, either. How are prizes dished out? A relic per win, or a relic to the overall winner? And experience per win, or experience to the top? Also boyachi, you are dumb dumb. Everyone wants the prizes that come wiht being winner.
[edit]: Also, is there a reason why I was unable to change my grid and AI for my tournament in between bouts? I saw that I was fighting a 'tachi, so I tried changing the attack increases my attack with the one that increases my strike... I thought I had it set, but then I sa that during the battle, it was still the attack-increaser.

You see there is something called sarcasism.
It is typical that people want something for winning, as you so blatantly pointed out, even if the prize is crap, as the case was, causing problems to the system.
I don't think you are allowed to change your grid, that is why it asked you if you wanted to set the grid for the upcoming tourney, not the upcoming tourney battle. Twould be like entering a tournment as a shotokan fighter, and then switching to wrestling moves.* uses the technique Shair on Ice for not sensing sarcasism * The New Dawn has risen.

Wow, look at this, everyone *cough cough* Ice. Wait, was that suppose to be hidden in the coughs? Oooowell!
When you click on that there "Tourney" link at the BD main page, it takes you to the Tourney page, where you can choose to browse the current tourneys. Even more shocking, there's a list of the recently finished ones, and, upon clicking on it, it takes you to that tourneys page. Wow, I would have never thought that! And, when there, at a finished Tourney's page, at the end of all the battle logs is a obvious linked titled "See the Results of This Tournament". When you click, it, shock of all shocks that ever shocked a shock, tells you what everyone was awarded, being who, how much XP, and which relics.
And, yes, a lot of that was that "sarcasm" boyachi mentioned prior... YOU STOOOOPPOOOD!
If this made sense, I'm obviously not trying hard enough.

Hee Hee, apparently you can change your AI in tourneys.
Why can't I use a lvl 1 tech four times in a row to begin with if it is the only one in its row? I think that kinda sucks that I can't do that, cuz sometimes I would like to stab people four times. Or raise my strength twice in a row.

I do believe it has been stated multiple times that you cannot change your grid for a tournament in the discussions of them.
You can change your AI -- both of them. You can change your Tournament Default AI, which is your AI for the entire tournament you are participating in, and your individual Current Match-Up AI for either your next or your current battle, once again, much like it was before.

Alrighty, well, I was as would be obvious to someone who wasn't just trying to call me stoopid, I'm trying to figure out how tournament awarding works... before it is over. *sigh* Obviously I can't just go and look at the tournament results when I'm not done with the tournament.
So, yet again, would someone like to answer my question instead of being an ass about it?
