Thad: I believe the management's current argument goes something like this: "every game counts because of the S-B scoring"

this is true when players are tied in points, but when one player has the most points, I agree that the tournament should continue, but good luck convincing Fencer of that. My guess is that the way he has the tournament code set up it would be difficult to handle moving on without all the games being finished, but that's only a guess.
