feedback for arena tournament in beta testing

Lucky

Staff asre some of the nicest people here if you ask me 

Was partnered with the same AFK player 3-4 games in a row.  Games started without me clicking "Next Game".

Same here and I never officially partnered anyone!  They just suddenly started while I didn't even want them to do so! 

Thanks for the feedback guys! 

This partnering business is tricky and sadly given that there are 4 players, there are lot more humans to do annoying things

Fix the bugs with teaming and time-outs in Swiss before going-forward with Arena.

I'm stuck with waiting-out lame-duck (team-member) games in Swiss. The same issue is articulated here with Arena.

Correct me if I'm wrong, because I only generally play ZH (1-min Swiss, 1-and-3-min Arena) and Bughouse, but, if someone does not move in a standard 1-v-1 Swiss system tournament, the player is removed from the tournament, right? At least I thought this was how most swiss tournaments worked. And, you can join during the first round, but not after (with the loss of a round). Thus, a team member who does not play in the first round cannot re-join the tournament (swiss). On the other hand, if someone neglects to move during an Arena game, maybe 3-strikes-out, with a sandbagging warning?

Getting teamed with the same person twice in a row, when the person does not move and kills a team-player game, that's just WRONG.

Not much can be done about the lacking communication issue, but you can do something about lame-duck team members.
