Don't time out!

The timeout ratio is the amount of games timed out divided by the total amount of games played (in a 90 day period). As mentioned above, to reduce it, play more games without timing out, or alternatively, wait enough days until the games you timed out on no longer factor in.

A timeout is when u run out of time and therefore lose the game
