In case of OTB tourney a player himself is responsible for showing up on time.
Now, for internet-based tourneys, that may mean he can be forfeited if his ISP
is down. However, since tourney organizers put effort into installing arbiter
with each player during the game ('serious event'), that arbiter can see that
player has shown on time and is ready for the game. In that case organizer
should be held responsible for any alternate connection in case ISP is down
(simply phone connetion would do here) or for rescheduling. Forfeit *should not*
be granted if player is phisically on time and in the place where he's supposed
to be and it's verifiable.
