This is the story. We were waiting for the constructed tournament to start. I got disconnected just when it was about to start (15 mins had just passed). So I start cursing while I reconnect. It took me like 5 mins. I thought tournament would have already started but it didn’t. I join and had to wait several minutes. When we were waiting around 25 mins people started making theories of what was happening. One strange thing was that TFW had created many non-one vs non-one battles in the lobby apparently just at the time the tournament should had begin. So if it was not going to star in time maybe it could star if it fills so people start creating guest accounts and joined the tournament. As soon as it fills it started and we were all playing very happy. Then the storm came. One of the persons that created guest accounts to fill the tournament had to reboot his PC so the guest account disappeared I mean there was non-one behind that guest account any more and as it was a guest it cant rejoin with the same ID. When I had to battle that phantom guest it instant win. I did not even get to see my cards, not even the win lost anoucement. I just say a map without fog of war and a message telling me to wait 5 minutes for guest to reconnect and then like 10 messages that told me that guest had disconnected. Any way game was freeze there I had no cards and there was nothing I can do except for closing the window. In the Tournament table it says that guest had win. Same thing happened with the other player so with 2 more wins the guest got first in the tournament.

wow that is amazing. maybe the system should stop guests from entering such tournaments?
I mean, it's free to create an account, and guests can still do lots of things.. but basically they should be stopped from entering anything with a prize payout, even if it's free to enter...?

And yes, i get ladder points from another players You get no ladder points for guests as their uncertainty is pegged at 350. That's definitely not a bug.
