How is it decided who is moved to a new table?
The player who will be moved to a new table is the player not currently at the Dealer, Small Blind or Big Blind positions that has been moved the fewest number of times so far. If there is more than one candidate, the player sitting the furthest clockwise distance away from the Big Blind gets moved.

How does a satellite differ from a sit and go tournament?
Some Sit and go tournaments are indeed the beginning of a larger satellite tournament. A satellite tournament is the means by which a player can play in a small tournament and win tickets for entrance to a larger tournament. This process is continued for 3 or 4 tournaments until the winner of the final tournament wins a ticket and package to one of the major land based tournaments, such as the World Series of Poker. The World Series of Poker is where the best players in the world battle it out for an estimated $20,000,000 total prize sum.

What do I do if I registered for a tournament in the past but forgot to play?
Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done. If you register for a tournament the buy-in goes towards the pot and hence the winning places.

I can sign up for some tournaments but not others. Why is that?
To be eligible for a tournament you have to fulfil some criteria. E.g. to play a real money tournament (including the freerolls) you need to be real money enabled and have sufficient funding in your account. Some tournaments may also be restricted in which case there are more criteria (like player points or qualification). The registration times for tournaments differs for each one.
