BITS,
Since we do concern ourselves with proper terminology on this forum, please stick to using the words in #1 and refrain from the coach-speak of #2.

The "buy back in" irks me because we know that if the player has actually left the game even a TO can't get him back in. At that point it is too late. The TO can only prevent him from having to leave and allow the player to remain in the game.
Nev, my most humble appologies for not living up to your exacting standards. I can totally see how having to deal with so many of us "mere mortals" must wear on your superior rules knowledge. I can only hope that one day I too may possess your vast wisdom. But I think I'll pass on your people skills.
