I was certain that the rule was to automatically cancel after 30 minutes of a tournament being down. But I checked the rules, and there seems to be no tournament rule that addresses this. But there is one rule that definitely needs to be looked at:
18.
No discussion of a hand or hand possibility is allowed while the hand is in play. Any discussion of play will result in a penalty or automatic expulsion from the tournament and possibly Americas Cardroom permanently.
If in chat if I ask someone if he has aces, that is clearly "discussion of a hand or hand possibility". Could such a question really lead to "a penalty or automatic expulsion from the tournament and possibly Americas Cardroom permanently"?
If that really could happen, the safest thing would be to never use chat, because a simple mistake could be way too costly--and very unfortunate for someone in the 99% of players who have no idea that such a rule exists.
