PlayerJoinAttemptEvent

PlayerJoinAttemptEvent is the supported extension point for custom access rules, maintenance, network queues, or external cooldowns.

---

Event Timing

Whack Me fires it only after checking that:

• The player is not already in an arena.
• The target arena is ready and has a game runtime.
• The arena is unoccupied.
• The built-in replay cooldown allows the player.

Cancellation prevents the join and does not modify the game. No denial message is sent automatically.
