Robbed of a final round.

A round consisting of only one group is always the last one, it applies to tournaments having one group from the beginning, and also e.g. to the last round of a knock-out tournament ending with a draw (in which case both players get gold rather than triggering a new round).
So the "# advance" parameter is ignored (as well as tie breaker usage) if the size of the tournament equals the maximum size of group at tournament's creation.

I have had multiple tournaments contested with 1 group and 3 players advancing to the final round. This is only one example of this.

What @Ximoon explained is how it is supposed to work, as far as I'm aware; a tournament should end once there is only one group left and all games are completed in that group.
It doesn't make sense for the players that have already played each other to move forward into a new group and play each other again. My guess is any instances where that happened were bugged.

@Martin_Stahl that would be great to have a confirmation from the devs to know for sure, or to know if something has changed. Is it worth doing a bug report or is there a remote chance this topic get noticed?

I have hosted 290 tournaments over the course of a decade, and can point out dozens of tournaments in which the players of one group advance to a final round against the same players...
Are you saying that this "bug" has been going on for a decade...and only now the correct version has taken place? That doesn't make sense.

The tourney above is exactly the same format, a group of 8, with 2 advancing to the final.

All of these tournaments were "bugged"?
I created a tournament by the name of House of the dragon II.
The tournament consisted of 8 players, in 1 group, with the top 2 players scheduled to advance to the final round. Myself and two other players tied on points, but I placed 2nd because of tiebreaks. The table stipulated that two of us advanced...
But to my horror, the final round was not played...
the tournament was declared finished and I was stuck with 2nd place??
Does anyone understand why this happened??
