There are a couple potential solutions here. I do think that it's still early enough in the competition that leniency isn't out of the question, but certainly games sitting around unfilled for a week is bad for the flow of the whole process. I think that, if a game remains unfilled for say, 2-3 days, a follow up reminder PM wouldn't be a bad idea, and if the game continues to sit around for 2-3 more days, then action is called for. You could either just remake the game for the number of players that actually showed up (kind of a pain in the ass, certainly), or you could have a list of people who are already in the tourney but would be willing to fill a slot in another group. Should that fill-in win, they don't get the game point (because of course it would be unfair to give someone two shots at a point in a given round), but at least the game was filled in a fairly timely manner. I personally would be happy to help fill another slot should it be needed.
