No-Vacation tournaments
If you want a faster tournament, you might want to try the no-vacation option! This can prevent long delays that happen when one or more members in the tournament go on long vacations.
If the 'No-Vacation' option is added to the tournament, all games WILL time out if you take longer than required to move. The 'Auto-Vacation' protection for premium members will NOT activate for these games. All games MUST be played in the expected time controls- no exceptions!

To check if a tournament is a no-vacation tournament, look for the 'No Vacation' icon in the tournament list:
In no-vacation tournaments, players can still activate vacation mode, but it won’t pause their tournament games. If you check their games, you’ll see the timer is still counting down for all their no-vacation tournament matches!
