In Response To: Should Major Tournament Events be Allowed to be 'Resolved' by Agreement Rather than by Play? (Bill Riles)

Generally speaking, no.

There are exceptions, for example, is a tournament has had enormous delays and someone is going to miss the plane out, then OK to roll for it, or play a shortened match (assuming that the party requesting this is not guilty for the delays).
