New Pause Rule

After some internal discussion we agreed on adding the following Pause Rule:

1.6.15 Pause if players drop

If 1 player of a team drops from the server, the game may be paused at the end of the current round (or when both team’s intelligence is in their base on CTF maps) to allow the player to return. If 2 or more players drop, pausing instantly is allowed.

Pausing will be a maximum of 5 minutes, unless both teams agree to wait longer.

Note: This rule does not count for disconnects caused by players themselves.
