WTA (Winner Take All) or Not?

Well as most gin players can attest, I always ALWAYS agree to a WTA tournament when it presents itself. Tonight (and this has happened in the past quite frequently) all three players agreed to the WTA. I played a hard fought first match and won - only to have the waiting opponent register that it was me he had to face in his match. So like the coward he was (and I will not name names but easily could) he bolted. The TD apologizes profusely that she has no other option than to cancel the entire WTA tournament. A waste of my time, her time and I get no credit whatsoever for my prior win. Not a win on the ladder, not an advancement on the ladder should it have warranted it, NOTHING!!!
So just to be clear to all GC players I will NO LONGER VOTE FOR A WTA!!! Not in here or any other room. Unless they can stop this unsportsmanlike behavior and penalize those who are at fault, I am left with no other alternative.

If I agree to WTA, I'll be there, so take it on case by case by case basis, you and I have been here long enough to know who the sketchy buggers out there.

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.
