Race switching between games is allowed. If you pick the wrong commander/race, a restart is allowed if it is within 20 seconds of game start.

If there are lag issues the players may leave the game and use the "resume play" function from the replay on another server. If a player is not in the game lobby after 15 min of its creation he may be disqualified.
