# participantQuitInTurn(with:nextParticipants:turnTimeout:match:completionHandler:)

Forfeits the match on behalf of the local player when it’s their turn.

## Declaration

```swift
func participantQuitInTurn(with matchOutcome: GKTurnBasedMatch.Outcome, nextParticipants: [GKTurnBasedParticipant], turnTimeout timeout: TimeInterval, match matchData: Data, completionHandler: (@Sendable ((any Error)?) -> Void)? = nil)
```

```swift
func participantQuitInTurn(with matchOutcome: GKTurnBasedMatch.Outcome, nextParticipants: [GKTurnBasedParticipant], turnTimeout timeout: TimeInterval, match matchData: Data) async throws
```

## Parameters

- `matchOutcome`: The outcome of the local player who forfeits the match. Don’t pass nil as this parameter.
- `nextParticipants`: Match participants in the order you want Game Center to pass the turn. Game Center passes the turn to the next participant in the array when communication fails or a participant doesn’t finish their turn within the time limit. Elements in this array must be in the doc://com.apple.gamekit/documentation/GameKit/GKTurnBasedMatch/participants property.
- `timeout`: The length of time a participant has to complete their turn before Game Center passes the turn to the next participant. The maximum value is 90 days.
- `matchData`: Your game-specific data representing the match state. For example, include information needed for the next participant to take their turn in this object. Don’t pass nil as this parameter.
- `completionHandler`: The block that GameKit calls when it completes the request. The block receives the following parameter:
