literally in this game, it is mate in one. i lost rating because my team mate run away and didn't play the move. I believe this should only impact their rating not mine.

Unfair rating impact. Teammate's inaction led to mate in one. Only their rating should suffer, not mine. https://www.surveyzo.com/toolstation-com-tellus-survey/

That's part of playing partners. Play every man for himself next time.

I am a Silver Life Master in the ABCL (American Contract Bridge League). It is a partnership game. North and South are partners, East and West are partners. If you are playing 27 boards, or hands, and on board 14, where a small slam was bid, Contract is 6 Spades in the South, if your partner(West) had lead a club on the opening lead instead of a heart, you would have set the contract, gotten a top board, and finished in first for the session, and got 2.31 Master points. Instead, you got a bottom board for board 14 and finished in 4th and got 0.57 points.

You don't get 2.31 points simply because your partner made the wrong opening lead. Both East and West earned 0.57 of a Master point. Same concept here!
