There is one person holding this tournament up, and they are laughing about the inconvenience they are causing, can the TD please kick them out so that we can continue play, this is beyond ridiculous.

I sent a message to the tournament organizer and he said that a few days before the start of the tournament, the rules were changed to allow for vacation time.

When it says "# Advance: 1" it means only one player will advance to the second round, the one with the best score. From the FAQ:

If 2 players in a group have the same score then both will advance. Tournament Directors can choose to use an additional tie-break method (we use the Neustadtl score) which factors in the strength of the opponents. If two players have the same score and the same Tie Break score, both will advance.

To iceman:  That's exactly what i mean.  Of course, it's much more difficult to win opponents with many points...
