Playing a lot of 10min rapid games, I am starting to frequently come across people who purposely stop playing when they're holding a losing position. They'll sometimes wait for long minutes until timeout. I initially thought it was a desperate try to force the opponent to resign but I also realized that winning by timeout doesn't give me league points (please confirm if you know).
Is there a way to handle these situations and prevent people from doing that? It's very frustrating and time-wasting.
Timeout wins count for league points if the game is long enough.
