Teams matches

[Deanrover]

After all 8 players have agreed to a Teams Match, it starts almost immediately afterwards.

It would be more polite if it waited until all 8 players had finished their current board. Unlikely to be much more than a 5 minute wait anyway.

Of course, once the 8th player was in place, all 8 players would have to be told that the match was about to start when somebody finished a board, so that none of the others would start a new board. (If they did after the warning, then it would be fine to whisk them away from it.)

This is overcome simply. When all 8 are agreed, they are banned from joining any new tables, and they are returned to the lobby at the end of their current board. They can not then rejoin a table. When all 8 are in the lobby, the game starts :-)
