AZKAHUNA,
I am not exactly new to this game, but there are things that I am learning everyday. For instance, I agree totally that one shouldn't be able to disconnect after starting a game. This makes total sense, and I know that previously, I have been a culprit. Until recently, I was unaware of being able to start a practice game with another player to prevent stats from being affected. Now, I know it is frustrating to start a game and have one (or many) disconnect from the game. This is a formal apology to those who have encountered me in this situation, but I have one question about tracking disconnectors. What happens if their computer is a piece of crap which freezes on them, or shuts down? I know this didn't happen with me, but I also have kids that I watch when my wife is working. Sometimes they require my attention after, say for instance, the first nine holes have been played.
