Why don't we have a Tournament Timer? Basically when the Round starts; It has a timer on the screen that shows how long is left of the current round. Rather than just guessing. This will show how long is left of the round??

The fact is, the next round starts when the round time is over, OR when all matches have been played. Therefore you cannot know in advance when the next round will start.

It could be set on the actual round limit though, maybe a sand timer. Not a bad idea tbh

Just look on tournaments to see how many games are left.

Well that's really a bad idea in my opinion. The only reason I can think of is that people want to know if they have time to do something (toilet, smoke, ...) In such cases, telling the maximal amount of time to wait is at least useless, at most misleading: people will think that they have time, and be surprised when the round starts earlier.

It's maximum Martin, just so you know

I agree with you here though Martin, unless it stated "maximum time remaining" or something along the lines of that.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Like it tells you you have so many minutes left..
