Help
Quite a few players quit as soon as they make a stupid play, presumably so that their name does not end up embarrassingly low on the final result. (why would they worry?)
this spoils the fun a bit as robots appear more and more in later rounds.
Would it be possible to replace runners with a robot with the name staying on, maybe with a different colour etc. so that their lousy result still appears in the final table?

runners in free automated fun can robots finish?

I can only speak for myself. I frequently experience lost connections. I don't know why it happens but it does. I am not a runner but I find it difficult to maintain the 90% TCR required by the express tournament.
I think about self driving cars. Brakes not responding, shut the car off and restart.

I wouldn't worry about it. Every time they run,they lower their Tournament Completion Rate(TCR)
Eventually they will reach a stage where their percentage will be too low to enter and they will be
automatically excluded when they try to register.

Sure, you can see when someone drops out due to disconnection etc, but there are many time when a player makes an enormous psyche which gets punished, or a plainly idiotic play then immediately drops out.
