Inactive players in tournaments

Hi all!
There's a problem with inactive players in tournaments... I just don't know how to manage them.

For example:

http://it.boardgamearena.com/#!tournament?id=3121
In this tournament, player "visnar" won this game by quit against inactive player "kornak": http://it.boardgamearena.com/#!table?table=18795098 but kornak was the player who passed in the next phase.

http://it.boardgamearena.com/#!tournament?id=3291
In this other tournament, player "TheDwarf" made kornak quit the table http://it.3.boardgamearena.com/yatzy?table=18954768, but it is stopped. I said TheDwarf to avoid clicking on "quit the table" because I guess he will be sent out of the tournament just like visnar.

But, well... What can we do? Just give victory of these tournaments to inactive players? Or there's a way to manage this stuff? Do you have some suggestions? :)


In other tournaments, with swiss system or round robin, I noticed that inactive players gained a draw result (0,5-0,5). Why? Is this a bug or it's ok? Because I can't find the reason... :(

Hi,

2 major bugs founds and fixed today :
  • Some players were using time joker on tournament games. Then the game was lasting too long and was cancelled for "not being played in the allocated time frame". Then the player who used the time joker was declared winner as he was having the biggest remaining time ...
  • In some case, the winner of a game was not marked as "1" in tournament (eliminated from a single elimination tournament or not having +1 point on Swiss based).
