Currently when you play last in the previous round, you are not allowed to be the first to start the new round. Which is fair.
But, if you're the second-to-last player to play and the last player dead-beats and gets kicked out- you're forbidden to start the next round. I think this should be changed. It's not the player's fault that the other player dead-beated, and he couldn't have foreseen that this would happen.
