I am trying to get started in the CMFB tourney. I am registered an on the player list. When I open the game and go to saved games and pbem, and then click on PBEM tournaments ++, I get a screen that says (T) launch tournament (turn1). At that point the only options I have are to cancel or delete - what am I doing wrong?

Don't worry, it's a common confusion for new CMFB tourney players! While the "(T) Launch Tournament" option sounds tempting, it's for tournament organizers to initiate the first turn. Here's what you need to do:

Wait for your first turn: Tournament organizers usually send out a notification when the first turn is available for players. This might happen after all players have registered or once a specific date/time is reached.
Check the forum/discord: Many tournaments have dedicated forums or Discord channels where organizers announce when turns are open and provide instructions. Keep an eye on these channels for updates.
Don't click launch: Resisting the urge to click "launch" is key! Clicking it won't start your turn and might even disqualify you.
Instead, wait for the official announcement and follow the specific instructions provided by the organizer. They will tell you when and how to access your turn file, which will typically involve downloading it from a designated location.

Remember, patience is key! Enjoy the CMFB tourney, and good luck with your first turn!

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately, those forums looks inactive or dead :(
