I think it isn't possible, but I want to be sure:
For example, imagine you have a competition, and this competition has rounds.
One competition can have from 1 to N rounds.
Would it be possible to generate a tabulated pdf, in which the rows would be players, the columns rounds, and each cell the score of each player in the round?
(Before generating the pdf, you wouldn't know the number of rounds of that competition)

You would have to decide on a maximum number of columns (rounds) which could be displayed in the report, and at runtime you could dynamically set the heading for each column. See this thread to see how this can be done.

No, but you can have blank columns.

I achieved something similar to this by using a combination of changing the headings (as per Tony's reply) and by predefining a number of PDF reports. I then coded such that the appropriate report (based on the number of rounds calculated in your case) is seleceted to actually use. This is done using scriptNext to force the use of the appropriate output report.
