BG tournaments

Is there any way you can make players to complete their games during a certain time when playing a tournament ?
For example, in 54th BGT, started 03/03, is 99% complete but there is a player in Group 5 that has only completed 30% of his matches ........!

Simple answer

NO ... we only wish =)

But! The rules could be changed and the system changed to not allow vacation mode. If you go to vacation mode and you are participating in some tournaments you forfeit all your unfinished games. That would help some.

Good idea

Send a polite message to that player pointing out that (s)he is holding everybody else up. If that doesn't work then send a less polite message. Can they still qualify?

Or...

If a group gets to a stage where only one player has games unfinished against 2 or more of the others, or a minimum of 4 outstanding in total, that player's results be removed from the table and the qualifier determined from the completed matches between the other 3 or 4 players.

I'm with you on this one

My sympathy, Pepistos! I know exactly how you feel and something SHOULD be done about it.
