BIG BAD WOLF: Ok, I'll explain better, as I should have in the first place.
Take this page for instance. It has a list with all game types from a given tournament. I can see in which ones I'm playing and how many players are playing at each one of them. But to see how many of them are actually completed, I have to manually enter every one of them to see.
If the winner's name was displayed in front of it, or at least an indication of "closed" or "finished" or something like that, I'd know that information at a glance.
