'Match Abandoned' --- too fast?

Sometimes when I'm doing a coaching session, we'll finish a game and then we'll want to decide whether to play another game or review the one(s) we just finished. Unfortunately, a few times, as we're talking it over, Hub very promptly terminates our session because we didn't act quickly enough -- it seems like it only gives 10 seconds.... is there a reason the decision window needs to be so small -- or why it needs to time out at all?

I've fixed the issue with even match score. Please open another issue if you find more problems.

Albert Steg (albert), can you explain a little bit how to reproduce this.
Are you using the Instant Challenge button to arrange your matches? For Instant Challenge matches, the match has to be started by both players within 60 of accepting the challenge. This is to avoid "bad actors" on the site accepting a challenge and then logging off.
I don't think this can be the scenario though, because there's no teach mode for instant challenge matches, so I assume you're using play-a-friend and I wouldn't expect these to time out, particularly if you pick the "no clock" option.
I'd be grateful if you can provide more info. Thanks

Alfie Kirkpatrick [Developer] We're using the "Play A Friend" option for Unlimited games and no clock. I don't quite recall the exact sequnce that occurs between games, but I think it was just when it offer the option to keep playing or end session -- and we take too long clicking a button so it assumes we're 'abandoning' the match.
It's possible that it's happening on the next screen, after we 'exit' (or whatever that option is called) where you wait for the 'Review Match' option to appear -- it's possible we aren't hitting Review quickly enough and then it decides we've abandoned the match?

Albert Steg (albert) I found an issue where a player ends a money game when the score is even. In this case it shows the "Match Abandoned" message you describe.
I couldn't reproduce the issue you describe of being slow to click the continue buttons.
