Hi Tracey.  I totally agree.  However, the winning team does still get credit for the win.  For example, you and I just played last night left because they were losing.  But we still got credit for the win as I checked this morning and it was there.  In this game things can turn around so fast, one needs to stay in.  I have left a few times when I first started but they were due to some players take forever to bid or play a card, every time.  Extends the game too long.  Others will bid extremely high bids only to go set due to only having a 15 point run.  Last night was perfect example.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I think you should be penalized more for leaving a game. A lot of times, the game messes up when a player leaves, &amp; then the team that is winning doesn’t get credit for a win. Also, Marvin (computer) can’t be relied on to make the correct play, i.e., won’t play an ace to take the trick, or completely overbids a hand on next to no meld. It’s poor sportsmanship to leave a game &amp; ruins it for everyone.]]></content:encoded>
