Players found deliberately holding up tournaments by taking too long to play their shot (i.e. shot times in excess of 1 min continuously) may receive a warning for delay of game. Should this persist and a Moderator / Admin witnesses this, a ban may be issued after the warning, if the trend continues.
Players who quit their frame/tourney, before its ended and it causes a bug, may receive a warning. Should this persist, a ban may be issued after the warning, if the trend continues. So it's best to wait until the frame/tourney has ended.
