During this 2013 tournament, I may need to go on vacation for a short while. Will my game be put on hold?

No.The clock will carry on counting down.

My trip was planned long before this tournament was created. Why should I be penalized? I entered the tournament in good faith.

These were the rules when you entered the tournament.

Tournaments with timebank-only controls can be difficult to plan around. Because the big tournament can't be held up for months by one person's vacation, you really have to keep moving in your games. Internet cafes and global-roaming phones can be useful if you're travelling or otherwise out of circulation.
