Tournament Withdraw

  I go to check the status of a tournament and find the next round has started.  Then go to change balls and return only to find I've got a WD.  What the heck is going on?  I did not withdraw and this happens over and over again.  Can't finish a tourney.
  
  Any ideas?

  I guess you timed out. They won't wait for you.

  After completing a round in bracket I returned to see if all others in the round had completed.  They had.
  I returned later to find the next round was open for play.  I did not begin the round.  I did back out, changed equipment, then returned to play only to find that I was WD.  This has happened a few times.
  In two or more of these tourneys I've found that only one player advanced and all others had WD.  Of a 16 player tourney, the second round leaves 8 and 7 had WD.
  Not a coincidence.

  So a couple of things, if they were a speed bracket you may have come and checked while the timer was towards the end.  What did you mean back out?  Did you look at the bracket or did you enter the round and just not hit a shot?

  You can`t start the round and then quit and change equipment. Once you hit Play, you have to finish a single play round or forfeit . You can save the game, but you can`t change the equipment.

  It must have been a speed bracket because I thought there was at least 24 hours between rounds.
   I realize you can't swap equipment once you start.

  Thanks to all with helpful input.
