However, I personally don't kick players as long as I see there is actually a chance we might finish the game.
Apparently, a player can still be kicked from the game and rejoin. You Still lose the game, but you are at least able to finish...Funny thing.

Does this hold true while playing in a Tournament, or maybe while you're in a losing state of mind (how bad are you losing)? How is it some players get a grace period of 20 sec before being kicked out? I've run one millisecond over my time, and I'm booted from the game. When I'm waiting on a player (message, wait at least 2 min), no response, I hit the button. It then gives em another 20 seconds (grace period) before I'm allowed to give em the boot.
I have my game on mute, so I'm never aware when the clock is running behind. It never really bothers me (just a game) when somebody boots me from a game (well it must bother me a bit, because I will usually put them on ignore). I have found that some players will boot you immediately, while telling you to never boot a player who is running behind on the Clock.
I've since turned on my volume. Only thing now - When I hear the clock, it is like panic mode...hurts my game more than running out of time. If only I could set the warning signal to go off at a particular time. I also noticed; the clock keeps running while a player's turn is being processed. So even if you hit the button, you've run in the Red without even knowing it...now you know. But I don't think Opponent has the option giving you the boot once the confirm (end turn) button is hit.
