RESERVES
In the event that a player drops out or loses premium prior to all game invites being accepted for the Round 1, their replacement will be taken from the list of reserves. Any points accrued by the player dropping out will be credited to that reserve player. However, no reserve player will be allowed to progress to Round 2 unless they score at least 5 points on their own.
In the event that a player drops out or loses premium after all invites in Round 1 have been sent and accepted, their replacement will be taken from the current standings. If the replacement is made between rounds, then the replacement player keeps his/her own score and we move forward with no other changes. If the replacement occurs mid-round (before all invites for that round are accepted) then the replacement player keeps his/her own score and also gets credit for any points accrued by the player dropping out during the round in question.
