Disconnect Protect in Tourneys

[Windbreaker]

I was playing a tourney on Absolute Poker for a league thing, and it was the first time I've ever seen a site that has disconnect protect for a tourney. Is it me, or does anyone else find this to be rather going against the whole concept of a tourney?

I had when the tourney got down to 4-handed. I flopped top pair from the BB. We checked to the limper of the hand who bet min, the SB called, and I raised it 4.5x that bet. The limper folded, and the SB disconnected with an open ender. I'm not suggesting he did it on purpose...maybe he did d/c....but in any case, is it me or d/c protects shouldn't be allowed in tourneys? The whole point of the tourney is that each decision you make can break you, you shouldn't be given an opportunity to see the river when someone puts you to a decision.

Anyone else see this as a problem? Or is it only me?
