Don't know if this is the right place for this question. It's my first.
Our "club" consists of 2 guys. Me and a buddy. We thought, since it's hard to get in with people you don't know, or know their skill level (I've been sandbagged once already), we would have our own tourny. I set everything up and we're all ready to start, then I notice the words on the screen, "The State or Country you are in does not permit..." Words to that effect. My response, "What the....." I now pose THIS question to the all knowing, "What the...". I mean really. We made up the tournament, made the rules (there are none). Can someone educate us?
It's all in the FAQ's over there----------------------------------->
Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Vermont do not allow skill based gaming.
Thanks for the reply, but I'm in Washington. Not on your list, unless you mistakenly left it off.
It may be a problem with age. If you are under 18 then you're not allowed to play in tournaments. If you are over 18 then check that your age has been entered correctly if at all.

It could be a bug. Last year there was a similar bug in CC tourneys where no one could play premium tourneys for about 2 weeks before WGT fixed it. We all got the same error message that you are getting now.
Edit
As the previous poster said you don't have a flag. You might have forgotten to click your country when you joined. If that is the case WGT has no idea where you live and you might get that error message with any premium tourney until you fix it. I would e-mail WGT and straighten it out.
