had a look in the rules (first time in a while ) & couldn't find anything...

i know that a player whos TL time expires during a match stays to complete that match, now logic says to me that if a players TL time is due to expire in the 15 minutes before the match (while the result is being calculated) the player would play out the game.

i could've 'tested' this out before last weekends game, but didnt want to take a L if my guess was wrong

can anyone confirm this, either GM or a user through their own experience?

i would say he play sometimes, it depends if the calculation is started or finish(i don't think that takes long) before he his sold.

games are calculated in advance, then the gameviewer shows the game. This means that a player who is sold 15 minutes before the game starts will not play in the game, and when he is sold during the game, he will play the entire game.

I'm unsure what happens if he is sold during the 15 minutes before the game, but I'd guess he still plays, I think the calculator will take all info he needs at about 15 minutes before game-start, and then uses that info for everything he needs to calculate for the game...

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Thanks for the answer. Can this thread stay open incase another user has a more definate answer?

In the meantime, I will just be more careful that any player I list expires after the 15 minute match processing window.
