Players leaving tables/timing out

[RGVBaptist]

Besides DualBoard, I spend most of the rest of my time playing games on Yahoo Games.  The two things I really don't like here at DualBoard are as follows:

1.) Being penalized when my partner leaves or times out.  In the past 2 days I've lost at least 6 games and dropped over 100 points because of P's dropping out or timing out.  The last game we were ahead by 900 points (the other team was at -450 something and we were at 450 something) and my P timed out so I lost.  That is just wrong.  On Yahoo you are not penalized for an idiot p unless you actually LOSE the game.

2.) As others have said, some way to limit players or be able to boot players on a new game.  Right now so many low rated players want to play with the higher rated players that it is ridiculous.  And it's not always the rating but their actual stats.  We should have more control over who can play at a given table.
