I organize real-time tournaments and this way I am sure I would be able to spot who is not going to be there or double check he/she will.

I would love if the out of time players were expelled automatically BUT only if we also get rid of the stupid rule that states finishing position is based on thinking time remaining.
I have been eliminated from several tournaments because I am not in the lead in thinking time but leading in score when the player that is losing expels a player. I have never understood why we don't simply go with the score remaining for the other players. Expel the player automatically (and I know that this does happen at some point significantly beyond the allotted thinking time) and then everyone else gets their current score recorded.
This will stop the player in last from getting a win by expelling a player that has gone 10 minutes over their time.

Totally agree. Just got eliminated during the 1st round during a terra mystica tournament because of a non playing participant. The remaining time does not make sense, because it depends on your position with respect to the defecting player: if they are in a different time zone especially, when they do play it can mess up the player playing before or after (depending on time).
But taking current score is a dumb way too, since at the beginning the differences are just random, or even worse with terra mystica, just the result of the initial bidding.
If the player is late early in the game (like after one day), they should be expelled and the game goes on.
