~ FP RULES ~
****  Since we wont have any TD controls to help us keep track of money that a player had if they are booted we are going to follow these rules.
If a player is booted and comes back in the allotted time frame and the Host of the table and at least one player on the table agrees to what the player had for money they will come back at that amount. 

If the Host and a player at the table cannot agree then the players money will be set at the same amount as the lowest money amount on the table. *****
