Oh I see, that all makes sense then.
A great feature for the 2.6.4+ would be an "advance all" button in the admin panel that will check through all of the open tournaments to see if there are any stuck matches and advance the correct players. Or even better a cron job.
At the moment I'm getting stuck matches every day + with over 120 tournaments open it takes a long time to go through them! If there was a button I'd just click it every day
edit: I was just going through my tournaments + more than half are stuck, is this the same for everybody else?
