When you press the "Auto" button, ALL scheduled comp vs comp games are played until you stop the automated process. With the round robin tournament, all of the matchups are determined in advance, so all of the comp vs comp games are played up until the final round, leaving the games with humans in them unplayed. The situation is, of course, different for Swiss tournaments, in which the pairings are determined after each round. So, pressing "Auto" in this case will only play the comp vs comp games for the current round. jm
