If you have too many abandoments or aborts, you lose the ability to abort and are required to player or resign. When that happens, any abandonments are also rated losses.

At the time of last game I had no aborts. The system simply informed me that I resigned. I did not get a chance to agree or disagree. The previous tournament game I have lost because I was playing another non-tournament rapid game at the time of the tournament start. During this game there was several disconnection from my side however I won this game instead of being defeated.

Also, tournament games are always rated as far as I'm aware, even on abandonment.

I understand why I loss my elo if I have played 10 moves and I have many aborts. However I have not played a single move. I understand why my opponent gained a point in a tournament, but my loss of elo I do not.

This behaviour of system, two consequent losses, I perceive as a consequence of an attempt to play two games at same time.

In Fide tournaments contumation losses are not rated.
