Could a 'doubling dice'** encourage early resignation by programs?

each program would have to forfeit a double game, if it played on and  
lost the game,
but could resign for a single loss.

scores in earnest might need to be tallied in the public arena.
though one would hope that the  application designers.....

**as per backgammon, either  player can double, but then it is the  
opponent's  choice  to resign  or accept,
and to redouble at their discretion, though this aspect may be ott.
  apologies if I missed the obvious,

it seems I omitted the most severe error, playing on, when a game is  
lost.
in the thread: Are 4 'easy to avoid errors' common to all MC programs?
