Can the Host host a tournament game and not play?

Happy holidays,

In this busy period we would like to provide a service back to the mule community and host games without being an Irata settler in that game.

Is this possible?

If so,
1) can the host get kicked after the third round? 
2) how do you commence the game once the other four players are logged in?

Not really sure on this one, but I'd wager that You, as the Original Host (OH) cannot make someone else the Replacement Host (RH) and let them work the connection.

Since you initiated the game, you initiated the connection.  Meaning:  you cannot trade off the Hosting to someone else unless you end the game and the other person hosts.  I think it's the way the game's set up, that it's not possible to do that.

Hope that helps...

Yes, I've done it dozens of times, that's the idea behind the bots as well.

You host, you don't join, you just hit spacebar to set ready status as a visitor.
