YaY 2.1.2 Became crippled after Yahoo login changes few weeks ago and yes, YaY 3.1.2 auto accepts game invitations in the tournaments.

Cheers,

You can enter the room manually (which at the moment I don't remember what the code is), unfortunally, in the current version of YaY, if the room is not found in the "Control Tower" it won't let you procede. Please stay tuned, I think I will add this capability again to the YaY 3.2.1

Meanwhile, go to the tournament room with FIREFOX once you are in the room, right click anywhere and select "View Source", and the room code should be somewhere in there.

Good luck,

OK, the ability to go to rooms not found in the Control Tower was re-implemented, just like old YaY.

The code for the tourny room is:
yahoostar_chess_adv_tourney

YaY 3.1.1 got crippled by the yahoo login changes.
YaY 3.1.2 does not have a way to log into these type of rooms, so:

You gonna have to wait until we release YaY 3.2.1

Meanwhile you should learn the ins and outs of making batch (*.bat) files to launch YaY, this way you'll be able to specify the room in the batch file.

Hey bud,

Did you include the latest and greatest switch cmd /k ?

This will help a lot.
