Whoes ever fell asleep after signing up for a tourney and end up missing it? I am currently up to two and ironically its always for a lot of money, luckily i have had a lot of luck contacting support and getting the money refunded. Which i really think is lucky because its really not there fault that you missed your tourney, especially because you fell asleep. Honestly because your chips arent physically removed from the table, someone has to win those chips in the blind so i think it is an unfair atvantage to the feild.

You're very lucky that the site gave you your money back. It is an unfair advantage to the players at your table, sure, but one could argue that it could happen to anyone. i.e. it affects players randomly and is thus not an advantage to anyone. It's the same idea as getting a table with a fish.

I think it should be more your missing the tourney and possibly losing your buyin that you should worry about.
