- DC/TIMER Rule View

The DC/Timer Rule goes as follows:
DISCONNECTIONS / TIMERS - Timer Rule:
> 1st TIMER -->> 10 min timer: It is applied either if the player is in lobby and not joining the table to play, or if a player gets disconnected and is not in lobby, or if a player has no ping. Once those 10 minutes expire, the TD will get a sub (if league game Host will get sub). If player returns before END OF THAT HAND, he/she can resume their game. If player returns after play has resumed with a sub in place, and next hand has begun or someone has mj'ed, that player is Disqualified, but must sit to play out the tourney.
> 2nd TIMER and on -->> No waiting: TD will get a sub, (or Host of league game) if player is back before END OF THAT HAND player can resume the game. If player returns after play has resumed and someone has MJ'ed with a sub in place, that player is Disqualified, but must sit to play out the tourney.
So, please be aware that if a player is in the lobby and not joining the table to play, and the host of the table starts a timer on that player, that is considered the FIRST TIMER. If that player DCs while playing, that will be the SECOND TIMER, so no waiting, a sub will be called immediately.
Thank You for reading. Hugs everyone.
