So Im winning my tournament games but I dont know how I feel about it.  I think Im 6-0 with 4 wins coming from time outs.  Is anyone else conflicted with victories like this?

I have no qualms about claiming wins on TO, unless it's one of my friends. I think Time Management is part of the game, and if they can't, they deserve to lose.

Well a couple of them were after only one move.  It's like they just didn't care.  If you aren't going to take a tournament seriously, why sign up ya know?  Oh well

You don't get any rating from winning a game < 4 moves.

The fact that you get tournament points, however, also has no impact on the scores of the active players. It basically turns into a tourney in which there are some people on the bottom who lost all their games to others, so the tournament only includes those who are playing--the extra points everyone gets.
