What seriously worries me is that you seem to find it acceptable for players to resume play of the remaining boards after a round has been interrupted so that they have had the possibility to learn their standing at the time of the interruption from the boards already played in that round .
You could look at Law 76B3 which clearly shows the principle. (I don't think the lawmakers have imagined any other possibility for players to receive such information during a round other than from a spectator.)
Obviously contrary to you I find the concept of "round" very relevant in many situations, this is one of them, and I find your willingness to discard that principle from the laws rather disturbing.
I have neither had nor have any interest in influencing how you play your tournaments. You introduced some league concept of yours and asked for my comments.
And to just repeat my opinion on the original question: I think the only legal way to handle the situation when a match is interrupted during a round is to either cancel the round or let the result be determined from the boards already played. It should never be any question of completing a round by playing the remaining boards at a later time.
