Babysitting @12h in freestyle, allowed or not?

[simor]

Account sitting when someone is not going to miss their turn is abuse of the babysitting privileges simply to give your team and advantage. And it is not allowed.

Does this apply to freestyle games where in some cases (for example 4 player doubles), if you don't play in the first 12h you are letting the other team play again or is it ok to babysit as soon as the 12h is near in order to give the correct team the right to play?

That's a good clarification. I would say its not okay since a turn will not be missed....baby sitting in that case is still controlling two accounts to give your team an advantage. Of course if you teammate is going to miss the first twelve hours you can always get someone else to babysit the turn (not the teammate). That way one person isn't controlling both accounts and there would be no problems.

Perfectly clear

Thanks sully800!

no, not that clear. the rule is you can only babysit when someone can't take their turn within 24 hours, not 12. just clarifying.

[simor]

but you can get someone else to babysit your team mate at 12h too

there is no 12 hour rule here. babysitting is allowed only if you can't take your turn within a 24 hour period. yes, it's up to the babysitter when they play. but if the babysitter takes the turn at hour 12, and the person supposedly gone shows up at hour 15, that's an abuse of the babysitter rule. Let's not go there, ok?

then maybe you should add it just like you added the 12h period in freestyle games, be consistent and fair?
