here is the letter from UB in case anyone else is curious:
"Thank you for contacting us.
In freeroll tournaments, players are automatically eliminated if they show up ten minutes after the scheduled start time. Players who register for play money or freeroll tournaments must take their seat and actively play (check, fold, call, or raise) at least one hand within the first blind limit period. This is defined as the time between the first hand dealt and when the blind limits increase for the first time.
If a player has not taken this action within the specified period, they will be removed from their seat and their remaining chips will be removed from tournament action. If a player does take the minimum required action within the specified time, then they are entitled to sit out after that for as many
hands as they wish.
If they are absent from the table, and then their blinds and appropriate antes are contributed to the pots until the absent player has no chips remaining.
Please note that no funds were deducted from your account since this was a freeroll tournament (no buy-in and fee were paid upon registration). We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you and we kindly invite you to join any other freeroll tournament of your choice.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you require further assistance or additional information.
Best regards,"
