In a tournament, what would happen if one player, or both, somehow by murphy's law managed to kill/lose a single/multiple arrows on the machine while playing?

What?
EDIT: And by that I mean, the arrow's sensors die?

Yeah, I got only 4 hours of sleep last night.

What happens if by murphy's law sensors die to the point where gameplay is rendered extremely hard or impossible?

There's been a point where I've ran the entire tournament on one pad. Obviously this takes a while.

Answer: Go to another arcade or machine
Answer 2: Host a console tournament instead?

Rebuttal: in a real tournament: #1 is not always possible, in some cases it would be more of an inconvinience to do so I reckon, #2: We are talking about arcade tournaments, and #3L this is all hypothetical.

What, like some idiot player uses their heel to break the arrow, making the pad unplayable and ruin a whole tournament?

I guess the player would have to shell out some good $$$ to the arcade and all the players.
