Step 7 DISCONNECTING after a game is complete:  Best practice from Richard of Roo Games:

A 'best practice' I would suggest for your league is that every time you end a session:

  • The host physically closes the internet connection with Internet->Disconnect.

  • The internet option will only become available after a game (completed or saved) when the client closes his stadium screen and returns to the main screen.

  • There are error checks built into the game, but this is by far the cleanest approach to finishing a session.

  • This also means the client shouldn't close SAT until he gets the 'Internet Connection is Lost' message.
