6. UNPLAYED GAMES

6.1 Definition
An unplayed game is a game not started at all.

6.2 Scoring
Unplayed games are decided by defaults (see Section 8)

 

7. PARTIALLY PLAYED GAMES

7.1 Definition
A partially played game is a game in which at least one frame is completed, but fewer than the complete game format.

7.2 Scoring
A partially played game is decided as the current result + defaults for the remaining (unplayed) frames (see Section 8)

7.3 Disconnects during games
In the case where one player logs out / gets disconnected in the middle of a game, that player normally loses the frame in play. The opponent is encouraged to be sporting and replay the frame, depending on how far the frame was played but is not obliged to.

7.4 Aborted games
In the case where a player has to abort the game (for whatever reason), both players are equally expected to maintain efforts to get the remaining part of the game played by the deadline.

7.5 Substitutions in partially played games
Once a game has started between two players no substitution may be made. The exception is where a player has been banned, has deactivated or has been removed from a clan. In the event of a player getting banned/deactivating or being removed then the game may be continued with a substitution from the clan whose player left. 

If a player deactivates and decides to reactivate their account after the game has been completed they are then not allowed to re-join that clan until the following season.  They will also not be classed as a free agent and will not be allowed to join another clan until the mid-season transfer window or the end of the season.
