The negative impact of network disruptions in electronic games may be reduced by providing increased efficiency in network communications and client- and server-side processing when a player rejoins a game in progress.

A client application may provide the list as part of a user interface through which the player may directly rejoin a listed game upon selection of a currently in-progress game from the list. In addition, the system may establish one or more mandatory break periods in certain extended game types such as tournaments. The mandatory break period may be the same time for all extended game types. Other implementations also are described.
