I'm not sure what the time/cutoff is but I think if you lose a player past a certain amount of time the system wont give you loss protection. I dont agree with that but I think that is the case. If you want to dock the person that left OK thats fine but the other two people should get some kind of grace IMO. For example, I was in a Clash round earlier & we were tied at either 18 or 20 before one of our players dropped, we werent able to overcome that disadvantage & lost. Getting -100ish points for that doesnt seem like a good way to score it.
