BBO keeps a substitute list for most games. Subs are used
when ever there is a sitout, a player doesn't show up, or a
player loses connection.
If you fill in for a sitout, you will play the entire event for free
and recieve any points won.
If you fill in for a no-show or dropout, you could be replaced
when they do show up, or reappear.
