When entering a robot tournament in the last minute, it sometimes happens that I click to enter en when I click to confirm the tournament has already started and I can no longer join it.
Is it possible to close the tournament a little bit later, say 10 seconds after it started, to tackle this small peeve?

Would you not run into the same problem with those trying to enter 10 seconds after start, who only just miss the 10 second slot, and would appreciate an extension to that extension?

I think the point, with which I agree, is that if you have started to enter before the tourney begins, you should be able to finish the process rather than being chucked out when you are clearly there.
