I've been getting random DC's right as the match starts (World Tournament).
If I get booted/DC as the the first round as WT is starting, come back, and win all 3 rounds (overall tournament win), I feel like I have atoned and should not be forced to endure a 9 minute penalty.
Maybe implement a rule where if a player wins the exact same match ID they disconnected from, the penalty timer resets or counts the penalty as "served"?
