  1. Please clarify whether all team members must be listed at registration time and if there is a problem if someone is registered but does not play.

    1. Hi. There is no problem if someone registers but does not play. The payment will be made when the tournament is open on BBO, to allow more flexibility for last moment line-up changes.

  2. I'm not wild about this rule, (extracted from Conditions of Contest), " If a player loses connection during a match, the other players will wait for 5 minutes then BBO will replace the missing player with a robot who will play until the end of the match."

    I have lost connections in the past, when BBO has kicked me out for "too many players." Can you rework the COC, such that robot replaces missing player until end of the dealt hand? Thank you
