Remove Disconnected Player From Active Tourney
Posted: Sun Jul 02, 2023 10:57 am
Is there a way to remove a disconnected player from an active tournament? If not, I highly recommend this feature be added as it can create one of the most frustrating experiences for everyone playing a tournament.
I always ask people to only play with a good connection, but sometimes for whatever reason, a player may become disconnected for a very long time during an active tournament. This really becomes an issue if they have a larger chip stack and end up making a final table.
I have a rule in my league: If a player sits out for longer than 15 minutes during an active tournament without notifying me that something came up, I will remove them from the tournament manually if they make the money. This rarely happens as most situations like this end up blinding someone out before the money. But in the situation where they last long enough to make it to the money, it is very disruptive.
Just like the 'No Show' minutes setting where the system will remove a player, I would like a 'Disconnect Minutes' setting or some similar solution. I would set mine to 15 minutes for example, and if someone ended up sitting out for 15 minutes, the system would remove them from the tournament without a refund for their entry fee.
If this isn't possible, I would like to have the option as the Admin to physically remove someone from the Admin side manually. I tried to figure out how to do this last night and I could not find a way.
