Why not allow late join in Chess.com Live tournaments? I sometimes find that I just missed the starting time of a tournament I'd still like to play in. Since odd-man-out players are issued byes, why not allow late join players to come in with a half-point bye per round they missed? Given the number of players who withdraw as soon as they lose even one game (I mean, come on guys!) this could improve the tournament by bringing in fresh players to replace those who withdraw. Seems like a win-win for players.
