I cannot say, off the top of my head, how many dozens of tournaments I have run or attended, but I can say it's been many, and I have never seen that happen even one time.
So, if you happen to be a lurker or simply a poster wondering what your local scene is like, please fear not. Nobody will try to run your time out. You will meet nice people who are happy to see you, and you will have a good time.

I want to really emphasize how great this community is. You don't have to worry about people being jerks at your local tournaments or at GenCon. This community is (by far) the best I've had the pleasure of being part of. If you're lurking, make the effort to meet the great people in this community; it's guaranteed to be a good time.
