Playing a Straight game in tournament, having all the bad luck you could ask for, the opponent even has a random shot pot and gets a run from it.

I eventually get the scores back to 30-30, pot a ball, but my luck, another goes in.

He then doesn't respond, time is up, both dumped out and now it says he has beaten me.

What the hell is happening with the game, why should I have a defeat on my stats when the game was level and no one progressed?

Very unusual. However, look at the results. It gives your opponent a 35-30 win. My guess is as follows, based on what you have said:

- your opponent started to not respond;
- the server did not see a result in time and eliminated both of you out;
- your opponent with the network problems did not see his elimination and just waited, having racked up the shots at his end;
- eventually the server saw your opponent's shots and recorded a 35-30 win, but too late in terms of the tournament.

That's my theory, but I might be wrong.
