morally wrong or not?

so i'm playing in a tournament and just need one point from my final game to progress to the final two, i'm already assured a place in the next round but if i lose my game there will be at least 3 maybe 4 depending on the result of another game... tbh i'd say there will be 4 in the final group if i lose.

now, in my game it's not looking good... i may draw but i would need him to mess up a bit.

is it wrong to slow play the game (7/14) in the hope that my opponent is unable to play for a while (for whatever reason, death, smallpox, dingo stole his computer etc.) and end up getting the win through timeout and advancing to a mano y mano dual for the title?

technically it is not wrong, but it might be 'unsporting'. i was on the receiving end of this kind of practice shortly after i joined, and i found it annoying. however, now i wouldn't care (or, probably, even notice). i'd say, just decide which standard you feel most comfortable with (strict legality vs strict legality + 'sportsmanship'😉, and go with that.
