Ability to move Tournament to next round if no meaningful games remain?

Sort:

I'm currently in a tourney (when i'm sixty four) that cannot move to round 2 because one player is still only half way done with the final 3 games.

If all remaining games in a round are officially meaningless because the participants will/won't continue regardless of the outcome, why can the tourney not just move forward to the next round?

The games could still be finished but without making everyone else wait.

Maybe the name of the tournament should have given you a clue as to how long it would go on.

Doesn't the TD have the authority to adjudicate games?

Ha, right.

 

That's a good question.  Let me write them and see...
