  What gives with the time limits. I had a putt on the last green of the game to complete the round. I was kicked out because of a time infraction. At least let us finish a game that is in progress. Especially in different time Zones. Pissed me off telling me I withdrew.

  I  agree,I quit playing brackets except in my CC,,Starting a tourney before the time is up and then getting booted on the last hole or two is stupid,once a player starts a round in any tourney he/she should be able to finish,,,,,,,,,,I'm sure a lot of players pass on the brackets for this reason,again if you start before it's over you should be allowed to finish.................

  So if someone starts a game with a few minutes to go then takes a dinner break everyone else should wait for them?

  Sure why not,,,I seriously doubt anyone would purposely hold up a game,unless they had a bitchy ol' lady on their ass or an extreme emergency,in either case the point here is being able to finish what you start when you start with any time remaining,anything wrong with that?......................

  Yep. Just get yourself organized to finish in time which is named in the tournament description and CCs:

  The first 16 people to enter will compete head-to-head, with 30 minutes (or 24 hours) to post their score in each round

  We are talking about Brackets with four rounds in a well defined time frame. Should the next round be delayed because one contestant has a personal issue?

  Then, would you deem this extra time to be infinite, in case someone has to visit a hospital for a week or jail for a few months? Or, introduce another finish line? What would happen if someone breaches this one, claiming "I have the right to finish what I started!"

  Get real boy!

  I've been on both sides and still enjoy playing at least free brackets, moreso with 24 Hour rounds.  Peerhaps a compermise of 5 Min timer per hole after Touney's expiration. Kind of like a sports overtime period. Not a total Surprise if withdrawn (due to AFK).

  So you want 90' extra while the others in the Bracket wait for the next round to start? Or is it only 9'? Should they be unsure about the timing just to comfort your laziness?

  Nope. Rules know no compromise. Post your round in time or you are DQed.
