I have just finished an unclocked 8-board-tourney. While playing board 7, the opp declarer was red for a long period of time, and then finally was subbed. The sub played quickly, but the round clock showed "2" when the board was finished. Therefore, board 8 was automatically discarded. I chose a random table to kibitz, and they were still paying board 6.

I recommend to inhibit the automatic discard of a board number n if any other table is still playing board number n-2. This should apply to unclocked tourneys only, of course, but all tables of the tourney should be inspected, and not only those of the current section.
