Funny story. I was playing a $20+2 on UB at the time (while my code was compiling of course) and I got thrown out by UB and could reconnect to the other tables, but not to the tourney table. And I got thrown out of the table before the first hand was even dealt.

So I sent an email pissing and moaning about it. Then the power went out - but I got my buy-in refunded because of the email. If the software hadn't screwed up, I would have lost that tourney and been unable to do anything about it.
