I disagree. Law 8B1 defines what constitutes the end of the round; it does not address the circumstances that may result in "a progression of players". If the TD is allowed to cancel a board in mid-flight, there will be a progression of players and the next round will begin for that table; if not, the round will continue until play of the board is completed. I do not think that "the round continues" is the necessarily equivalent to "play of the current board continues". Indeed the law could have said, and did not: "if any table has not completed play by that time, the round continues for that table until play is completed there". It also does not say "if any table has not completed play of a board by that time, the round continues for that table until play of that board is complete", so reading 8B1 as restrictive the TD's powers to curtail would also appear to prohibit requiring a late play for a scheduled board not started when the round is called.
I do not see any law that explicitly permits or prohibits the curtailment by the TD of a board in progress, except insofar as it comes under 81C1 "... to ensure the orderly progress of the game".
You would be much better off if you read the complete law that you find relevant and not just what suits you:
How do you understand:
but if any table has not completed play by that time, the round continues for that table until there has been a progression of players.
Du you believe that the round ends at that table because there is a progression of players because the Director cancels the Board in progress?
While Law 8B1 explicitly states that the round continues for that table
with no authority for the Director to curtail that board Law 8B2 explicitly implies that the Director has such authority in order to
postpone play on a Board till later.
