up a convention card with the last remaining player who has arrived without a
partner.  Players arriving without a partner after this time will not play with the
Standby person. 

5. Only in certain instances and approved previously by the Executive, can a
Standby person refuse to play with someone arriving without a partner.

6. A person arriving without a partner and noticing that there is no Standby
Volunteer may sign up as Standby Volunteer providing he/she has arrived by 7:15
pm on Monday and Wednesday, and 12:45 on Tuesday.  The same rules apply to
this person as above.
