Sportmanship

I really wish players would just resign when they feel they can't win, rather than disconnecting on purpose. Very poor sportsmanship.
Oh no....

I completely agree. Not only poor sportsmanship but also shows a lack of respect for other players and the TD. It holds up a tournament for extra un-necessary minutes. But that isn't even my main concern.
We have seen un-necessary delays in other games for years. But NEVER in Cribbage. What's going on here?

Surely, you still get the win, just the inconvenience of having to wait 90 seconds, damn annoying though, I do agree with you.
Totally Agree

Very much disrespect to everyone in the tourney.. And in such an honorable game. So sad that some players choose that just for spite. Much more powerful to take your loss.. thank the other player and TD and exit gracefully.

In our ladder tournaments there is a wait time of 5 minutes before taking a win. Many times waiting 5 min for that one player holds up the entire tournament.

I agree that it is very childish.

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.
