Its a shame that your opponents have ducked, I'm sure if not they would have made some interesting battles to have been read. Unfortunately no-shows happen in tourneys from time to time. It sucks but there isn't much that can really be done, especially with low site activity, if the site was booming you could possibly freeze the no-shows from entering the next competition as was done before in the past but at present wouldn't make any sense to do so.
As for the LBT title, the LBT itself is starting again soon and I believe @
Kiwi Peewee has that in order and so the title will be up for grabs when there's a contender. To put the LBT on the line in any other was other than the LBT itself undermines those who battled for it and held it for long periods of time from constantly winning. So, the LBT won't be put up for grabs in a random round cause a few people no showed the Scheme Tournament.
Best of luck moving forward in the Scheme Tourney. Next round should be fire
