  • If a player fails to show up on time the team can decide to wait (up to 10 minutes) or play with a player less.
  
  
  • If a team chooses to wait and after 10 min the missing player still hasn’t shown up the team must play with a player less.
  
  
  • If a missing player shows up in the middle of a round he/she is not allowed to join and must wait until the next round.
  
  
  • If a match can’t be played because of multiple players missing, the administrator can choose to wait if there is enough time or penalize the team with a lost round or a complete loss of the match.
  
  
  • If the administrator chooses to wait, then after 10 min the faulty team is penalized with a lost round and after 20 min complete disqualification.
