Backgammon Tournament questions

What do I win for winning a satellite tournament?

In a satellite tournament, you win a free entrance to another tournament. Satellite tournaments also sometime carry a cash prize but not always.

How do I enroll to my free tournaments?

First click the proper tab above the main table in the "Game Lobby".
It would be either Swing, Sit & Go or Tournament. You will see the "Enroll free!" pink button – allowing you to enroll for free to one of the tournaments.

Why did I not succeed in entering a "<1600" tournament- what does it mean?

This is a rating limited tournament, which only allows players with a rating below 1600 points to participate.
For example: if you have a 1599- rating level, you will be able to enroll to such a tournament.

What are Stars? How do I gain them and what can I use them for?

"Stars" are used as the buy-in for stars free-roll tournaments.

You receive a Star for each dollar you play for. You gain Stars regardless if you won or lost the match.
Stars are accumulated when playing for real money games only (meaning: there are no Stars in fun money play mode).
Your accumulated Stars are displayed at the right side of the screen.

I was in the middle of a tournament and I got disconnected and couldn't reconnect. Did I forfeit the tournament?

When disconnecting you have 5 minutes to reconnect. Also, you cannot disconnect 3 times during a match. If this happens, you are disqualified from the tournament.
