Grockit games can be started immediately or scheduled for later. When you RSVP to a scheduled game we used to hold your spot for the entire duration of the game regardless of whether or not you showed up. Sometimes, however, spots would be filled but the player would not show up. This in turn could prevent someone from joining a GMAT game that has available spots but is ‘full’ becauase all the spots were filled by RSVPs. To remedy this and give people more opportunities to work on GMAT questions together your reservation will now be held for the first five minutes of a game. So, if you show up to the game you RSVP’d to, no worries, you’ll get to keep your spot, but if you’re more than five minutes late to the game, your spot will be opened up for anyone to join. That anyone could be you or someone else that is in the GMAT lobby looking for people to collaborate with.
