    No it hasn't. For several months it has ejected after 15 hands folded.

    Best of luck next time.

    I guess we thought a poster may notice after several months, besides, do you really care about the person that can't be arsed to show up on time like everybody else?

    I agree with DS. Once they've been autofolded after that first hand its not like they will take any more time when its their turn to go. If they show up after 30 min with 600 left so be it. We need all the chips on the tables as possible once we get to the final table shove fest

    This has already been voted on by a majority of users. Paying so many places, you'd actually have people that couldn't be bothered to show up on time with a realistic chance of being in the money: How would you feel if you were playing on time, made a move, got eliminated on the bubble but someone sat out cashed ahead of you?

    i would be extremely irritated that they got 20 points that they had to rollover

    I know that I have been booted 2 times in the past 2 weeks for not showing up within 10 minutes of the start time

    I don't remember a vote on this but I would point out this:

    1) I have never heard of the 15 hand rule, if that has been in place for a long time fine but I don't recall it ever being stated as to the number of hands and you are out.
    2) If I make a move and lose and a sitter happens to cash, so be it, that is what is normal for all online poker tourneys elsewhere.
    3) My vote would be to abolish the kick out rule and make only the final table get paid.
    4) Also, hand for hand on the bubble needs to be fixed.

    I have a few more opinions but I will leave it at that.

    I always voted against the auto boot rule. I dont remember an exact vote though, but I have been booted from around 30 tournaments over the past few years because I would arrive about 10 minutes late. Hell I got booted out of hte last major qualifier for the final 85! 10 of the 50 qualified and I show up 10 minutes late and I was booted. I even assumed that the auto boot was not even used in that event

    I agree. And I have pointed this out before, but there are times when the tables aren't balanced right Some tables have 2 players less than others around the bubble. Yes, this is a free tournament, but it seems like an easy fix, no?

    We need 20 minutes atleast, what if someone is taking a dump before the start of tourney while being seated and had to end up showering after because they exploded and couldn't wipe their A** clean in time.

    Or we should atleast have a confirm button like for example 5 minutes before the tourney starts a pop up should appear confirming that you are nearby your computer and ready to play. And if you don't respond to that the points get refunded automatically and a next user can sign up intime for the start.
