    		 All games have to finish before 90 days from the initial date, otherwise we will take the score in that given moment as the final result.

    The only possible problem I see is  in a close match where the games are taking a while some may choose to use vacation or delay techniques to not take a loss.  I personally find this a form of cheating.

    Other than that., lets do it :)
