 - Fixed unnecessary tournament restart when server is almost empty

+- Reduced lag during mid-round log upload - by Arie

 TODO:
 - Some people run multiple instances of the same server (located in the same directory). This is a problem, because they all write to the same logstf.log file. Make the logstf.log and -partial files have dynamic names, and don't forget to clean them up.
 - Sanitize names for < and >, since logs.tf doesn't like those
