All new tournaments (from today) will now start within an hour of filling, or shortly afterwards. There will be some exceptions where tournament starts need to be managed, but these cases will probably be limited to super sized tournaments such as site championships.
In all tournaments, the last player entering a tournament will close the tournament to further entrants. This means they, or any other entrant, cannot withdraw.

Sounds like a good idea.
Just one question, though.
Do you mean that the last entrant in the tourney will not be allowed to withdraw, or any player who joined the tourney will not be allowed to withdraw later?

A useful extension to this would be to auto start tournaments which aren't fully subscribed, but beyond the minimum number of players necessary, after a published date. So tournaments would start when they are fully subscribed and as soon as they are sufficiently subscribed to start after a preset date.
PS - I've just discovered the urgent games feature - very good!
