I know I'm not technically on board with this one, but it makes no sense to fake some laps to make them catch up. If your connection goes it should be a mechanical failure and you DNF.
If your connection is bad enough that you can't stay connected for the duration of a race, you shouldn't be joining an online tournament.
Niki, it is rather unfortunate that your connection is not stable... I have seen you timing out a lot in the past... not just in StormCup... But I STRONGLY believe that people who disconnect/time out should NOT be allowed to rejoin... even those with poor connections
As many have pointed out, there are many things that someone can do to cheat this "system". We are competing in a league and don't need this kind of nonsense .
