pgt: The oldest tournament I play started in 2008. It's true that it's possible to create tournaments which will last for decades. But we could have looked at the timing when we signed up ;-)

As you can see, this tournamant started 7 years ago. It is ridiculous that some people have not even finished THE FIRST ROUND!! I'm 75 year old, and would actually like to play to the end of the tournament. But what if I die before the next round? Will all my subsequent games have to time out? What about a "first round must be finished by" date to avoid this utter stupidity.</b></b>
