hi
the tournament deadline passed sometime after you have started the round. the timer check is done on the past shot of the game. I am sorry you didn't finish the round, but this is the only reliable way to do it that does not involve checking deadline on every hole.
the deadlines as you can imagine are for everyone's convenience.

Rules are rules but I was never aware that once you entered a tournament that not finishing in time would void it. Where would we go to see that rule?
WGTicon states that the timer check is done on the last shot of the game so that they don't have to check every hole. If that's the case, then why not check on the FIRST shout of the round. That would make more sense to me. If you start the tournament BEFORE the clock expires, then let 'em play. (Just my 2c)
hi
the rules are defined by tournament deadlines:
for example:
say you are playing in a ready go and you singup at 8am. at 10am it courses and you have 12 hrs from then on to finish a round....
you come home at 6pm, get dinner, start your round and on 9th hole, you feel like a nap and then forget to finish and only get there the next day... and you realize you have 9 holes left.
but, while you did all that, everyone else would have to wait for the round to finish before it pays out and results are finalized.
that's 1 of the reason we have hard deadlines.
