The casebook 1-25 created difficulties in that by Rulebook rules, if a player could not resume, a retirement was imposed, but the casebook allowed a player to even leave the venue while teammate continued the match. This codifies in the rules, allowing a team with one player unable to play to continue the match, with wise caveat about safety that the other player needs to remain off playing surface. Would like to see a slight modification that the player that is disqualified, must remain at the venue. If the player must leave the venue, the entire team is required to retire. Without this addition, having only one player from team still at venue could confuse the tournament desk, delay adjustments the desk needs to make for a team that will NOT be allowed (will be a forfeit for delay with one player missing) to complete future matches anyway.
