If the group size is quite big, then they might end up with a few more games than they really want. I would imagine this would be more of a prob ...[text shortened]... but needs to be considered all the same as some players only play a limited amount of games...
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.
I fully agree !

This is a great idea (the automated start), there should be no need for tournament mods...

"Russ, you have about a month to make up a new star that will be given to Helden when he reaches 300,000 moves. Otherwise, I'm not re-subscribing. Make it happen."
