I believe all tournaments play like that at RTG and Microgaming and always have. It is very frustrating, as you saw, but that is how they are set up, when the time is up, the time is up. I love Inetbet but I must say that I do not think their hearts were really into having tournaments. They are not all that much fun with small bankrolls and very limited as to how much you can even win, even on the ones that cost actual funds (more than the 1 penny and 10 cent ones). I only occasionally play them anymore if I am very, very bored.
