Good morning " Hauss",
In fact, this behavior is linked to the technical functioning of FlyOrDie servers. When a disconnection occurs (loss of server, internet outage, etc.), the system considers the disconnected player to have abandoned the game. Even if you were leading, the automatic rule applies a forfeit to prevent abuse (for example, a player intentionally disconnecting to block the game).
In summary:
If the connection is lost, the server cannot determine whether it was intentional or not.
To protect fairness, the rule is strict: disconnection = loss of the game.
This applies to all FlyOrDie games, including curling.
Practical advice:
Check the stability of your connection (Wi-Fi or cable).
Avoid starting a game if your network is unstable.
If the issue is with the FlyOrDie server (rare but possible), multiple players will be affected at the same time, and in this case it may be helpful to report it using this link;
