I see your point, I guess that puts a case forward for auto timeout at end of timebank - no grace.
In the "How has everyones 2005 Championship gone so far?" Exy was afraid of still be playing the tournament in 2006, then I have answered him with the message below in italics, where I have shown how this tournament was settled to finish until the year's end.
I'm sure you won't be playing this tournament in 2006.
Wait, wait, wait... I'm not saying that you won't be at the final round.
60 days timebank for each player in each game, gives, at maximum, 120 days for each round.
3 rounds, first, second and final, gives, at maximum, 360 day of playing.
1 day for adjustment after first and second rounds, gives 362 days for the tournament.
The 2005 Championship has started on January, 3rd, plus 362 days of tournament, and we will have the Great Champion of 2005 at 31/12/2005, Saturday.
But, to accomplish that, Russ must be ready to start the final round, at worst case, on September, 2nd, Friday.
And I think that it's absolutely possible, all games ends with at least one player remaining timebank days.
EDIT 1: Thinking about it, and considering that the top players must need some vacation days during the year, I think that Russ can set the second round start date and the final round start date, so, the top players can schedule their vacations time.
EDIT 2: 120 days after January 3rd will be on May, 3rd, Tuesday, but I'm sure that the round will be finished at least 2 weeks earlier, so the Monday in the week before May, 3rd, 25 of April, would be the optimum day for the second round start.
And 120 days after 25 of April will be on 23 of August, Tuesday too, so 22 of August, the Monday before, remembering that all games must end with at least a player remaining timebank, would be the optimum day for the final round start.
EDIT 3: This way, the 2005 Championship would be finished until 20 of December, yes, it's a Tuesday, right before Christmas.
EDIT 4: Perfect!!!
EDIT 5: I'm sure Russ has thought about all of this when he settled the 0TO/60TB 2005 Championship...
Another interesting thread on tournament's infinity is "Tournaments *Never* Seem To Conclude" (www.redhotpawn.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=20830).
Thanks again...

If any of the 2005 Championship competitors decide to let the system TO his opponents, it could not finish this year, because it would become a 2 days TO tournament, instead of a 0 TO.
