If there is a delay in the registration process, who is responsible for managing the time adjustments?

The Head Judge is responsible for managing time adjustments during a tournament, especially if there are delays in the registration process. This role includes ensuring that the tournament runs smoothly and fairly, which encompasses keeping track of time for rounds and making necessary adjustments when unexpected delays occur. The Head Judge has the authority to make decisions that impact the tournament's structure and timing, taking into account fairness for all participants.

While other judges may assist in various roles throughout the tournament, it falls primarily on the Head Judge to oversee these time management aspects. Players and Tournament Organizers also play significant roles in the event, but it is the Head Judge who must formally address and resolve any timing issues that arise. This ensures consistency and integrity in the tournament experience for all participants.
