What happens if game 1 goes to time? Is game 2 automatically considered a draw?
It's hard to imagine a single round of this game taking a full tournament timeslot, but I suppose it would force a draw.
Rules say any game that goes to time is a draw so would be 1 point for each player that match. Game two wouldn't even be a factor as it never started. I cannot see a match being a single game going to time. 70 minutes is plenty of time for two let alone one game of Star Wars.
i think if game 1 times out both players get 2 points. 2 games must be played, so I would think game 2 is considered to have timed out also.

I do think it's going to be interesting to see how time plays out… but in the "spirit" of the game, I am sure a polite "c'mon, dude… you're killin' me!" to speed up a turn would work…

I noticed nobody has commented on the deck checking portion.
Feel sorry for TOs.
A Game of Thrones, the only game that matters.

Didn't see this so feel free to point it out if I missed it but: what do you do in case of an odd number of players. Seems to me in a x round Swiss x of the players get screwed by no being able to score any points. Any ideas or solutions? My only idea is to give 2 points for a bye, but that can artificially inflate a bad players score or lower a good players score.
A bye has to count as a full win. A player should not be eliminated from the running for first place (in a tournament with no cut especially) because they were randomly chosen to get the bye. You just can't penalize a player for something they had zero ability to control.

Agree with ScottieATF. 4 points for the bye. It's enough of a downside that it will contribute 0 points to your Strength of Schedule, it doesn't need to have points cut too.
Will there be a ranking system for us to use when we use the Strength of Schedule method?

That's my interpretation also and until FFG releases a specific guideline for such situations, that's the way we will score such games in our tournament group.

One way to find out for sure so I hav emailed FFG.

I was correct, game 2 does not matter as it never started. So 1 point per player.
Nate French says:
If the first game goes to time, only that first game is scored, and each player receives 1 point for the match. The second game was not played, and no result is recorded.
This means that if a player has no opponent for a round, he is considered to have won both games for that round. (This happens both with byes, and if an opponent doesn't show up for his match.)

yup got this email today also. Makes sense. I would add to my tourney that it would be the bottom player who has not yet had a bye. So the same player doesn't get 3 or 4 rounds of bye.
