I am mired at round 11 for three days now and doubt my opponent is coming back. At least I scraped through to 153 points I guess.
I understand where you are coming from but a bit harsh on us newcomers that want o play and yet our opponent has yet to show. We'd risk getting 3 150 point auto wins.

Personally I'd reduce turn around time per turn rather than overall available time then auto lose defaulters and drop them from the event. Harsh but it's not like turns take long in smaller scenarios and this is only a game so if real life gets in the way then nothing is lost. Real life is clearly more important so there's no cause to be upset if you default.

I'm about to get a 150 point auto win I assume but I'd rather have played.

I am not sure what the issue is here. Sorry. Did the other player maybe forfeit their match?

Tournament logon is the same as MP log on id. Out of curiosity, are you Beta testing too? The beta version seemingly loses all you MP games as that requires you to create a new MP log on id, but they are retrievable if you reset your Beta version under OoB properties in Steam then logon with your original MP id.

There's no difference in your account. Any beta tests use a different server, but the exact same account.

It's not based on who made the last turn but who kept the other player waiting the longest.

If they've not made any moves by now then it's highly unlikely that you won't receive the full bye score

Round 2 is underway!

If iPlayer and Trajan are wondering why they have been disqualified, it's because you both only played one of your matches in Round 1. You need to play Both of the games that the tournament assigns you.

can confirm that's not how the beta is working then as I logged in to mp using the beta dlc and none of my tournament games or any mp match would show up

Hi, if you're using the beta, the game is looking at an entirely different server so you won't see any of your mainline games.

This is to stop games being corrupted due to being played by different versions of the game
