IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?

It has been suggested by many TDs that I write regarding a recurring problem in multi-player tournaments. It is the behavior that I find most deplorable and rude! Players who - rather than allow the last score to register and thereby sealing their loss - choose to DISCONNECT. During tournament play this holds up the entire tournament while everyone waits the full five minutes to resume play. On occasion it is a new player who may not realize what a problem they have created by their hasty exit. However, you seasoned players know better! It really is the rudest of all behaviors and you will NEVER see me PARTICIPATE IN IT! Yet I am frequently abused by it.
Any chance ADMIN can start penalizing repeaters so they stop? If we can't figure out how to stop them is the answer that I join them? I should hope not.

I don't think players realize the ramifications this can have, especially when playing in a tourney. One player holding up the tourney has a domino affect and can make a tourney take a long time to complete because one player has bad sportsmanship and won't acknowledge that they lost. This wait can make the TD late for their next tourney and can cause a player to miss out on the opportunity to play in the next tourney.
Please be considerate to everyone ... yes, we all win some and we all lose some, but hopefully your mother (or father) taught you how to be a good loser and show good sportsmanship.
Thanks for your post Lady!

There are a few repeat offenders that exhibit this behavior, and it has happened to me repeatedly by two or three regular gin tourney players. I'm sure the admin can warn and eventually penalize the serial offenders, or at least I hope they look at this.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
