I currently have a tourney game where the timeout should have occurred by now and it hasn't. Wonder what's holding it up. The guy is out of time. I want to take the win.

Add an option in "My Settings" that would automatically claim a "time-out win" for you the instant that all time has expired.
If you prefer to manually click that skull, just don't select the "automatic" option.
That should make everyone happy.

Should be AUTOMATIC...with a 12 hour grace period to allow for time zone differences...and the vacation days as a buffer, of course. That's it, plain and simple.
Give us a choice. More choices are always better.

I haven't played tournaments for a long time, but isn't the "automatic" feature used here flawed?
If I remember correctly, the skull pops up and can be manually clicked right away, but if not clicked manually it sits there for two days before it is clicked automatically.
It seems to me like it should just be automatically clicked right away. Isn't that how it's done in OTB tournaments?
