Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2007 8:36 pmthat really sucks, my partner was eliminated in the 3rd round and i did all the work and am about to win the game, so instead of getting 100 pts to myself, he does nothing and gets 50 pts out of it, therefore me also only getting 50? it shouldnt be like that if they deadbeat/suck

On the other hand, if your partner got eliminated - that may well have been part of your strategy. There have been several occasions where either my partner or I sacrificed our cards to the other. This allowed the remaining teammate to cash multiple sets with multiple bonus armies - leading to a win. This is definitely a team win and should count as such.
If the other team simply took your partner out (through either excellent play on their side or misjudgment on your side), they may well have still helped your cause.
Seems like there should be some a poll added with the following options:
a) Teammates split points [as is]
b) "Winning" Teammate(s) opts to keep/split points [deadbeat partner]
c) "Winning" Teammate(s) opts to keep/split points
Options A and B are fine. Because it is difficult to necessarily quantify how much a teammate helped/hindered their partner(s), option C just isn't really viable.
Unfortunately, option C could also lead to abuse:
Would the winning points be based on the combined ranks of the winning team or only against the remaining teammates scores (x1.5, x2, or x3 as appropriate)?
You could get a multi who decides to partner a "new" player. If the score is based on splitting the original combined ranks, the existing player would win a lot more points (doubled) than they would have if their partner had not been eliminated.
