How to cancel a tournament on Chess.com
If your plans have changed or you need to correct an error, canceling a tournament is straightforward. Here's how to do it for both Daily and Live tournaments!
Daily Tournaments
Go to the tournament page where you are the Tournament Director (TD) and click 'Cancel Tournament' in the right sidebar.
If the tournament has already started, you cannot cancel it. However, players can withdraw after completing their games without losing rating points, as long as they do so before the next round begins.
Live tournaments
Like Daily tournaments, a Live tournament cannot be canceled once it has started.
To cancel a Live tournament before it begins, hover over 'Play' on the left-side menu of any Chess.com page and select 'Play' from the options.
Find your tournament tab and click the icon crossed circle icon ('Cancel') to cancel it.
