As i see it, if you were there at 8.43, you would have had a legal line up by 8.45 as you would have had 3 players there, none of the 3 of you could have played the first set, because the Wizards would have already claimed the first 3 games. They would then have claimed frames 4 & 5 because you would have had no one there to start those frames.
The second set would then have started with the 3 of you there, playing frames 6,7 & 8.
If more of your team were there by the end of those 3 frames, they could have played frames 9 & 10.
Then you would have picked any player to play frame 11.
That's if i have got rule 30 correct & if you were there by 8.45
You near on got that spot on Chris as i read the same but whats questionable here I think between the 2 sides is what time did the 3rd player arrive ? ..... In an earlier post he stated he was a few minutes late but I recall Terry Brindle asking me about procedures and my phone time was 8.43 but I did not see TJ until I heard heated exchanges a little while later as I was watching my teams match. I know its finicky over a few minutes but if it ran over the 8.45 deadline for a mimimum legal line up then the frames are defaulted ..... albeit harshly as a comprimise could have been a second set start with the Wizards starting at 5-0 up as whats been said earlier. 8.25 you claim the 1st frame .... 8.35 the 2nd and 8.45 the 3rd with 4-11 being defaulted at the same time.
