Hmm. Eigenlijk wel. Is het een soort straf om aan de stilzittafel te (moeten) zitten?

Example sentence(s):

If there aren't enough players to make a team, those waiting can sit at the time-out table.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Klinkt goed, bedankt! Alleen heeft 'time-out table' niet een wat positievere gevoelswaarde dan 'stilzittafel'? Een stilzittafel wil men graag zoveel mogelijk voorkomen.

sit-out table

Explanation:
Odd number of Pairs
With an odd number of pairs each pair sits out one round of play. This happens when they move to the "sit out table".

Explanation:
Where there are extra players forcing a number to sit a round out.
Have also found sit out table

Example sentence(s):

ref (a)The Bridge Connection will make every effort to accommodate all players who need a partner and who arrive on time. However, we prefer not to create a half table that causes a long sit out.
ref (b) Half Table - Referring to the two additional players during a duplicate round without competitors, resulting in a sit-out due to the odd number of pairs in the event. The Director organizes the movement so sitouts rotate between pairs.
