How many players who drop out of a match manage to get back in time?

A shaky connection can drop and return several times in a minute, which makes a naive count look wonderful or terrible. This entry shows how to count whole interruptions and what counts as being back too late.

Why this works

A player's experience is one interruption, not the number of times the line flickered. Joining flickers into one event counts what the person went through, and requiring the return before the match ended counts only comebacks that gave them something to come back to.

When not to use it

It does not help when your game cannot be rejoined while running, or when matches are so short that nobody could return in time. Then measure how often people drop at all and fix the cause. Without a known end time for the match, leave it out instead of guessing.
