Elimination from the tournament when other is out of time

[Michcios]

Hi,
today I was eliminated from 7 of wonders tournament. The rules were that 2 of 4 are eliminated. Two players run out of time, third left before the second was out of time. I was the last who left. And I was eliminated from the tournament. Why? I can't find the rules of elimination in such cases.

This issue has been causing unhappiness for a long time. See this thread: Timeouts and elimination tournaments: potential solutions

As you have experienced, no satisfactory solution has been implemented, which is why I only play 2p games in tournaments.
