Daily Tournament Next Round Starting Before All Games Finish

I see that some tournaments start the next round once all advancing players have been determined, even if some of the other games are still ongoing.  That's a great way to save time.

However, other tournaments don't move on in the same situation.  For example (as of now)

I have looked through the tournament creation screens and don't see feature this as an option.  If I create tournaments in the future, is there a way to make sure they advance once all qualifiers have been locked in?

Thanks, Craig

Thanks, Craig

I don't think you will have a second round. You have 7 players. They have all played each other already.

The only game still going is between the guys standing 4th and 5th.

If you had broken your tournament into two groups of 4 or 5 players, with 1 or 2 advancing, then you would have had a second round.

Thanks, but three will advance to a medal round based on past experience.  This only happens when there is a single group with 2 or 3 designated to advance.  If this was the last remaining  group of a larger multiround tournament, you would be correct that this would be the last round.  It took me a while to figure that out.

Craig, have you already figured out what's the matter, or need a consultation?

I was just curious why some tournaments moved to the next round while others did not, even though the qualifiers were all determined.  Haven't figured it out yet.
