Originally posted by marinakatomb It's been brought up before and i agree in principal, however it has to be considered that this will mean that some people will end up playing games in round two while they are still playing games in round one. If the group size is quite big, then they might end up with a few more games than they really want.

Perhaps ensuring that all qualifiers for the next round have completed their current round of games will meet this criteria.
With all group winners games completed and the winners positions in the table assured without doubt, the next round is free to start and those last few games between the other contenders are able to continue and fight it out for 2nd and 3rd etc without holding up the continuation of the tourney.

Rather than waiting for every game to finish in a round before starting the next one, how about just waiting until its undisputed who the participants will be?
For example, right now in the first round of the Sprint Iota 1/7 tournament, there ...[text shortened]... group is Zabano, so this game is insignificant. The second round could be on its way already.
