tournament play

I had 6 wins in my group matches then 2 players dropped out and now I only have 1 win, how is that fair???

It's not.
I believe I brought up the same subject a few years ago but nothing was done about it.
Once someone signs up for a tournament, he should be obligated to stay in it until the bitter end.

I'd prefer them to drop out than take ten weeks to play three tournament matches.

Tournament play

The same thing just happened to me with a bit of a twist in the 197th tourney round 3 in group 2. There was one game remaining to finish when one player who had a 60 pip lead suddenly resigned the game giving a win to his opponent. The net effect of this was to prevent me from instead being in a tie with said opponent and advancing to the final round. Does this happen often? Why would a player who is winning a tournament game resign like that? If he no longer interested in playing why not just withdraw? I can't prove any collusion between the two but it looks pretty suspicious on the surface. In the end it's just a game but what poor sportsmanship. Is there any means to file a complaint with Zoo Escape?

Are

you sure it was resigned and not timed out? It is a bit suspicious.

Yes the player who resigned had actually just started bearing off as well. This player has concurrent other games being played normally.
