This is a general question to tournament players. When you know there is no chance to win do you play it out or resign? Is it good sportmanship to drag out the obvious or bow out.
for me that depends on the game, and how the other sections are going. If there are still other games going, I may keep going, and also if I am playing a much better player, sometimes I like to play a few more moves out to see how they close a game out. In chess I used to resign, but I played on in one game and managed to force a draw.
there is no right answer, I don't mind either way if I am playing someone and beating them. It is upto them if they want to play a game out, or resign.
It is you choice and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
