Perhaps you confused this situation with one in which a team loses the game intentionally in order to gain an advantage during the rest of a tournament? There are rules against that.

Poor customer service? Bah.
I don't work where I'm not in complete control of the clock. That way, when sh!t like this happens, I declare the time limit expired and go to the house. And then remember not to work for places like this.
Trust me, not having to answer to one central assignor is sometimes quite a blessing.
