I will have to edit it at some point, as there are some dead players in the list now and also some got banned today.

It looks like there are 4 groups remaining: 34, 62, 68, 84

There are four groups containing players now showing as banned: 32, 43, 81, 92

The only group with a new winner as a result of banning looks to be group 43 which now goes to gedwin (1773) 40/48

unless I missed something which is entirely possible.

What is the difference between "group decided" and "all games complete"?

what happened to the tournament auto-timeouts? I swear there are some games in progress (in the groups that aren't yet decided) where a player has had no timebank remaining since long, and there hasn't been a move in these games in a week.
This is stalling the tournament.

Yeah, that big judas is slowing it up for us all. Perhaps an "accidental" banning might be in order, just until those timeouts can be claimed and the round moves on.
Still, at least after your final game with English Tal, you are well acustomed to players doing strange things with the time.

Luckily, there are some real games also so it is not the sole reason the round is not finished - otherwise I would get really mad.

In our group, Irax has no time left, but his vacation flag is on. So, yes, the tournament is held up until he returns.

I won't go into my thoughts about the silly vacation system at RHP... words fail me.

Still, by the time his vacation runs out the real games in the other groups should have finished so it is not a big hold up.

Also, his profile does say there is some computer trouble - I did think it was strange for him to stall positions that are still in the opening.
