Let me try to explain.
As someone pointed out, there are over 2000 tournaments in the list, and that number will continue to grow. To pick the name of a tournament that you're looking for you have to scroll through the list, and even if with a wheel mouse it can take a while to find something.
Sure, you can type the name in manually, but what if you're not sure of the exact spelling? For instance, I'm in five of Blitz's Clandemonium tournaments (well, I've now been eliminated from three of them, but that's not really relevant.) They're not all spelled the same way -- there's a bunch that are called Blitz's Clandemonium I, II, III and so on, but one is just called Clandemonium and another is called Beta Clandemonium and I think there's one called Clande-something else. So for me to use the game finder to check up on how my competitors are doing has been a bit of a pain, because I can't just scroll to one group, I have to scroll to a bunch of different groups. And even though Beta and Blitz are pretty close together in the alphabet, with 2000 tournaments that's still a bit of scrolling.
What qwert is suggesting, is that when tournaments are completed they get taken out of that main list, so it would be shorter and easier to look through. You could still access the whole list by checking an optional box, but the default would be the short list.
Sure, scrolling down is not a major burning problem. But not all suggestions have to be about finding the cure for cancer. Sometimes, solving a very minor problem is still a valid suggestion to make. Hell, 3M is coming out with new, improved Post-It notes, and there really wasn't anything wrong with the old ones, but people have been finding that having Post-It notes in different shapes and sizes improves their utility just a tiny bit, and that tiny bit is reason enough.
