Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
Don't remember exactly, but something like this:
New matches should start at least maximum game time later.• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
In a roundrobin tournament usually all matches start at the same time.
I wanted to have a new match start at every 3 days, while the maximum total match time was set at 15 days.
It didn't let me set the dates, claiming that new matches should start at least 15 days later, but there is absolutely no need to wait for the previous match to end in roundrobin. They start simultaneously anyway.• Which browser are you using?

When setting up starting times for a round robin tournament
the system checks whether rounds overlap
and disallows overlaps.
This check is foolish and should be omitted.
In fact, it can be tedious to have many real-time games at the same time.
The bug, however, has devastating consequences for turn-based games:
round-robin tournaments with overlapping rounds would be the only reasonable time scheme that combines both:
1) a manageable length of the tournament
2) a sufficient amount of time for players to complete their games.
Perhaps the best solution is to downgrade the error messages from errors to warnings.
I tried a time scheme with 3 games every 2 weeks - but this fails to, because you can't choose 14 days playing time, only 15. So my game plan moves by one weekday per cycle, bad for people who like consistency.
Please remove the overlap check für turn-based round robin!
What I did: I scheduled Game 4, Game 7, Game 10 and Game 13, with distances of 15 days. It was impossible to schedule Game 5 and 6 for the same day as Game 4, I had to leave it at ASAP.
And it seemed to be good! Before the beginning of the tournament, BGA showed me that 3 games would start every 15 days.
And now, after the tournament has started? Games 4, 7, 10 and 13 are waiting as scheduled. All other games have startet on day one. Impossible to manage for my players!

Without any other information, my expectation would be that a round-robin tournament would work similarly to a Swiss tournament, where players all finish their first round 1 game, then all start their round 2 game against the next player.
But I recently joined a round-robin turn-based tournament, with playing hours that were not in my local timezone (see other bug: boardgamearena.com/bug?id=33960 ), and all 7 of the games started bang, bang, bang, about 5-10 minutes apart, all within about 1 hour.
I had no warnings and since holiday time jokers do not work for tournaments, I was lucky that I was only kicked out of 1 game, suffering a small karma penalty. The other 6 players were kind enough to attempt to play it out with my negative clock, although 3 of those games still ended by hitting the maximum game length (and I lost with my negative clock).
Please display the expected staggered start times on the main tournament information page, along with an estimate of the possible maximum number of simultaneous games that you might need to play.
I qualified for round 2, and was hit with 11 simultaneous games. Way too overwhelming. Unable to concede the games because it's a tournament, so I threw all 11 and lost intentionally. I will not be doing another tournament anytime soon, because this is such a ridiculous, bad experience.
