How about changing the game status of both match players to "In Progress" when either makes the entry?

Question

This would keep players from being left out of the daily draw when they are obviously playing. (It might be easier to make a change in the code used to detect when players are inactive by checking the game status reported by their opponent of the game in question.)

I agree! It doesn't do it for me. I have marked my games before and it just does me.  It would be especially helpful now since my phone won't log into the site since I got ios7.

It does mark both players' games "in progress." I always mark my games as being "in progress" as soon as I start them, and it always shows "in progress" on my record and on my opponent's.
