Strange resignations in tournament...

http://en.lichess.org/tournament/p5BUlbS0

Ok, so I'm probably being thick here, but I don't understand! This very good player called Tolia is playing in the tournament. In the first three games, either Tolia or Tolia's opponent resigns after the first move. What's that about? Is there some tournament tactic that's gone straight over my head?!
If you, in a tournament game, do not move within 30 seconds, the computer resigns for you.
