No Slow Pokes Tournament for Chess 960

I've created another No Slow Pokes tournament - this time for Chess 960.  The same basic restrictions are in place here as in the last one, except the rating range is appropriately lower.  Here's the link: http://www.chess.com/tournament/no-slow-pokes-960-tournament

    After chess.com lost my tournament, I recreated it, so please sign up if you're interested.

    Well, we had gathered 55 participants, were steamrolling ahead, and probably could have started within a few days when suddenly the tournament disappeared off the face of the earth.  The tech support for chess.com is looking into why this happened.  I sincerely apologize for this.  I have no idea what happened, and apparently chess.com can't yet adequately explain it either.

    Has anyone else experienced this - creating a tournament only to have it disappear without a trace before it starts?  They suspect my account got hacked, but I have no other evidence of this being the case and am not some noob when it comes to password/identity security, so I personally doubt it.

    We're up to 7 registrants, putting the tournament onto page 2.  If we get a couple more participants, the tournament will appear on page 1, and the attendance will steamroll higher.  I saw this hapen on the last tournament I hosted.  Please join if you're interested, and let others know about it.

    I've updated the rating range for this tournament.  Apparently it's your standard rating that counts, not your 960 rating, so I adjusted it in order to bring in better players.  We've only got 5 registrants, so there's still plenty of room!
