4. In order to avoid abuse of the system, each player has only one (1) disconnection token per match and is used up once the player does. Any disconnection made after the token is used shall be counted as a point for their opponent. (Only applies for disconnections during the play)
5. Players are only given 10 minutes to return to the room upon disconnection. If the player fails to return, the match score shall be frozen and will be considered the official result. If the player who leads the score is the one who disconnected, the match shall continue, regardless of the player's time of return, and as long as the opponent is present.

The staff also have the discretion to change the referee of the match, or kick him/her out of the staff based on the same grounds.
Section 7.2 - Overall Conduct
