mctrivia: This does not solve the prob. If a player is so slow that he has not finished a single game while all the others have finished their games (except with him), the system believes it is possible that he can win the round even if he is the weakest player in the tournament. So it will hold up the next round. Hence i remain in the suggestion for tournaments in new modus (flexible time frames). Of course, it should remain the option to create a tournament with the old modus.

pattypoo: Since the conditions will be known before the tournament start, there is no surprise and a player can chose if he want to join a tournament with flexible frames or one with unflexible. Cannot see something unfair here...
