# Once joined, how does the flow of the tournament look like? Especially when playing from mobile?

To ensure a smooth tournament experience on Checkmate Live, please follow these guidelines:

1. **Stay in the Tournament Lobby:** After joining, remain in the tournament lobby. When a round begins, a "Join your game" button will appear. Click it to be directed to your game automatically.
    
2. **Refresh if Necessary:** If your game doesn't start as expected and the "Join your game" button isn't visible, refresh the tournament lobby page. This action should display any ongoing games.
    
3. **Check for Byes or Schedule:** If your game hasn't started, you might have a "bye" for that round, or it may not be time yet. Verify the schedule in the "Schedules" tab.
    
4. **Prompt Attendance:** After each game, stay in the lobby to avoid missing your next match. You have 1 minute to join; after that, your clock starts running in the 3+2 time control.

By adhering to these steps, you'll help ensure a seamless and enjoyable tournament experience.
