Is it well understood how many points are awarded for a timeout in a cube match? In this game, I was trailing 4-2 in a 5-point match when my opponent disappeared. A backgammon is no longer possible on the board; in fact, if the game were played out, every possible sequence of rolls and moves would result in a gammon. I thus expected that when my opponent timed out I would receive 2 points for the gammon. Instead I received 3 points and won the match 5-4. I feel somewhat guilty for being credited with an impossible backgammon. Not very guilty, as I expect my opponent would also have timed out in the next game, but somewhat guilty.

I had thought that a timeout would be scored the same way as a resignation -- i.e. that the player who timed out would lose the maximum number of points possible from the final position, at the current value of the cube. But I can't find this written anywhere. Has anyone else had experience with this? Is this the intended result, or a bug?
