                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[@Terber-4033 same here, getting kicked out of games by "an error has occurred" or game freezing up saying "its so and so's turn" then a minute later says "you've been removed for inactivity" while my sceen says otherwise.  Many times this has happened. A lot of my abandoned games are from those 2 things, or loss of wifi with a router issue. Yes i have abandoned games, but only for those issues(not my fault) or playing with 2 players that just run the clock out, after 2 hrs i left game, couldn't take it.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I want to know why some players are allowed to abandon a game just because their opponents have a great meld.  There are certain players that bail the minute they are going to loose, because of a great meld by their opponents. This is BS... sore loosers need to be penalized for their lack of integrity.  You play the cards you are delt.  Win, loose or draw.... You don't get to take your ball and go home just because you didn't get the best meld!]]></content:encoded>

When both teams break the points to win in the same hand the default setting is for the team that won the bidding in the last hand will win, not the team with the highest score. This setting can be changed in the offline game or if you create a private table but currently in the online tables this is the default.]]></content:encoded>
