Look at the Tournament 1677 - "2007 Championship".
It says that in the round one it is only 1 game remaining.

How to find it? I think the round list should be revised so you dint have to guess or search all of the groups to find the one you're in or, in this case find the reminding game. I would like a summary of the participants and their results not having to try out all the groups in order to find out. It is hard even to find oneself the first time. Then you have to remember what group you're in. It should be easier.

The remaining game is to be found in group 4. And you can see that is the game between slowfear and lastpawnstanding that hasn't even started yet. Their other one was timed out after withs first move. But a game not started can't be timed out.

The winner of this group is already decided. This particular game doesn't change this. The text "Group decided" indicates that this is already known.

But if this is known, why not start the next round? Isn't the fact that the next round can be started recognized automatically? This games stalls the progression of this tournament.

My points of this posting are:
(*) Revise the round list! A summary page is proposed.
(*) It should be possible to time out a game even if it has not started yet.
(*) If all the rounds are completed or decided, the next round should be started automatically or with no delay. With a summary page anyone can remind the tournament leader when the round is finished.

Look at the Tournament 1677 - "2007 Championship" again.
Why isn't it progressing?
All important games are finished. The next round can begin.

The only game left is one where no players has made any move, at all.

Quirine was champion in 2005 and 2006. He was stuck in the toughest section this year and didn't get past the first round.
