Tournament Automatic Withdrawal?

  I had just advanced beyond the first round of a 9 hole tournament. Minutes after the Round 1 timer ends, I am anxious to play in the Quarterfinals. Round 2 was set to begin 'TBD' but the "Tee Off" option was displayed, so I began playing. Midway through the round, I was told that I did not complete the round in time, which made no sense, because it just began. This is unfair. A screenshot is attached.

  You played some Speed Brackets and CTTH Brackets. These have very short timers of an hour or less from the moment the last spot is filled. The current rounds must be finalized when the timer's run down! Many players are surprised by these and miss play.

  Concerning your screen shot, consult "How to post a scorecard" on top of the Help forum.

  Edit:
  There are also reports of Bracket rounds that end prematurely - in extreme, nobody gets the time to play.
