6) the game is suspended until the ejected person is out of sight
Almost all of my solo games were on time limits.
It was surprising how both teams would "help" the ejected person leave! 
I was getting so many ejections that I finally stopped doing solo games.  |
Don't forget "any call you don't like was my partner's".
