One way to speed up the tournaments would be to end the sections when the winner is decided even if there is some games still going on. Of course the slow games would still continue, only the section winners would be announced when it is mathematically certain.
Option to end slow games doesn't sound very good to me. If moves are made within the timelimit there isn't anything to complain about.
I, too, like Kitti's idea that a tournament creator can declare a section when the result is definitely known. This idea should be posted on the requests board, I will do it next.
As to the determination of a game, I am generally against it. There are situations where it is not easy to make a decision and with the wide differences of abilities on this site, a good player maybe behind (somehow) but may still win with good endgame play. And this would put more pressure on Fencer but that could be solved by the appointment of panel of trusted good players ... of course, we might then have a great debate on who should (or shouldn't) be on it!!!
