This tournament is being delayed by a game that has no effect on those going through to the next round, can anything be done.

It has been suggested that tournaments be allowed to move on when the remaining games have no effect on the tournament. This has not been looked upon favourably by the ones who would do the work.

Adjudication has occurred in at least one tournament. It may have been the only time.  http://www.chess.com/tournament/2nd-chesscom-tournament-1201-1400

"we adjudicated the games. sorry for the delay. one game was clear, one was not so clear, but we adjudicated based on the untimely vacation with no reason given."

Vacation abuse has to be extreme and there may no longer be a case extreme enough for adjudication since daily auto-timeout protection is acceptable. (Auto-timeout protection is not vacation but is deemed to be vacation by the site.)
