Unassailable leads in Clan Challenges

Either Clan Leaders should be able to claim timeout wins in their clan challenge games, or there should be automatic timeouts as in tournament games.

I know some players might be willing to give their opponents more leeway than the challenge parameters, but as the clan leaders set or accept the conditions, they should be able to claim wins for games which go beyond those parameters.

I have 6 clan challenges in which there are games which could be timed out by my members, but they haven't claimed them. My clan has an unassailable lead in those challenges, and the result of those games will not affect the outcome of the challenge.

Is there some way for the challenge win to be registered (and points allocated), but also to allow the games to continue?

(This might also apply to challenges where the challenge win hangs on the timed-out game. But even in that case, if the games weren't completed under the challenge parameters, they should be forfeit anyway....)

EDIT: No, I'm not just whining; I think it's a fair proposal. I could lose some of my current challenges if certain timeouts were claimed against my own members... But at least it would finish those challenges.

I'm not a clan leader. I just stopped in because no one of my 220 opponents was moving. However, as one who ALWAYS takes the time out win as soon as the skull appears, I can say that I did grant a player an extra three weeks in a clan match - for a very good reason - he asked very nicely and said that he would understand if I took the win, but he had a very good reason for being away from the Net for 3 weeks. I just don't get why it's such a big deal. If your clan members aren't taking the wins, then maybe they have a good reason for it.

Wasn't an automatic timeout introduced already?

It's much longer, 45 days, but there.

He who plays the game decides when to resign or take skulls. No one else.

I'm a clan leader myself and I let my members play their games. I wouldn't think of anything else.

I think my main point was understood (because of the way I phrased it...).

I don't want the right to claim skulls, I just want the challenge finished.
