I live in the back of beyond, not the end of the universe, but we can see it from here. So I lose connection sometimes, sometimes quite often, but it's not predictable and I don't want to stop playing. So if I get booted during a game and lose points I'm fine that's life, but why if I get booted on the load up screen, the first time we get to see our competitors do I lose points. The game can see I've left before the start, it can detect I lost connection and that I didn't just quit, so why penalise me?
