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
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.
