all it takes is one table going extra long because someone keeps disconnecting and getting '240 seconds added...tournament clock is stopped'


I had that happen in a satellite last night.
Same guy kept disconnecting every hand (it wasn't intentional...we were down to one table for crying out loud...and he apologized too).

For 9 or 10 hands in a row we go the little message in the chat-box 'so-and-so disconnected...240 seconds added' .
It was incredibly annoying.

I wrote to support about it and they explained that it was for the player's protection and that they didn't want disconnects to be a deciding factor in bigger-money tournaments (or something like that) and that it may help me sometime when I have connection issues.

I disagree with the policy of giving someone 240 seconds hand after hand after hand...but at least support responded quickly and to the subject.
