Once an event reaches the bubble (not really relevant for your HU event), the tournament enters a special mode whereby disconnected players receive extra time.

This extra time does not count against the blind clock, but it will add about 7 minutes to the length of the event. A player gets 4 minutes the first hand, 2 minutes the second, and one minute on the third. Then he only gets the normal 25 seconds each hand. In 'disconnect extra time' mode a disconnected player will never be made to 'Sit Out'.

We believe it is important to protect the interests of players who are experiencing temporary internet difficulties in a tournament end game situation and hope you'll exercise patience in the few times you'll be affected by these delays.

As an aside, this isn't a new disconnect policy. It's been like this at least as long as I have worked here (about a year).

Okay this makes sense for an MTT big stakes crap whatever whatever, but for a FIVE DOLLAR SIT AND GO?

And previously in the past the disconnects have been how I said. Don't know when this went in place, but you used to be able to finish them out in like 7 minutes cause it would auto-fold. This is just way way way way too long.
