decide TOURNAMENTS early

The main idea is that most tournaments are already decided before the last game is played. The original suggestion (to decide the tournament whenever the winner is known), might be somehow naive. Considering the different types of tournaments we could suggest, for the standings of 'tournament winners', to use the naive suggestion.
-----------------------------------
The next round (second) of a MC, could be started even before all tournaments know there winner, since the line-up can be known even earlier (In the most simple example, the are 3 first round groups, where two have different winners say A and B, and the third group can finish with either A and B winning then, in each case A and B play the second round). -------------------------------- The line up of the next championship depends on much more then the group winners, but also the promoting players (2 or possible more from each group in lower leagues), and thus on the places 5,6,7, 8. Anyway also in this case the last game could be superflucious to know the line-up.

For the monthly tournaments, as soon as the top position is fixed (no change or tie possible), the next round should start.

It is much different for the championship tournaments. All positions are possibly significant. That said, once the positions are fixed, the next round may start. I feel that it should continue to be announced in advance as it is now.

I agree that the MC could start when top positions are fixed, I only wanted to say it might be possible to push even that a little more.
