3D is toxic and just now I've had a game thrown on purpose because I got set twice and all the other trump was in the same guy that bagged me twice. So, my partner orders everything up to get euchred and when I called, they over trump or not play trump at all so we don't get a point. They ruined the game on purpose because I got set.

It can be that way. I was in the top 40 list at my best and at that level most games people understood that in reality a euchre only really costs you 1 point and possibly saves 2. Yet you get people throwing games at this level for little reason.
Unfortunately I've dropped significantly and am 500 points below where I used to be and ever since then I can't seem to go any sort of run where I can gain more than 50 points in a week let alone a session. People at this level 2100-2300 don't seem to understand the intricacies of the game.
Just recently we were down 0-2. Being early in the game I made a pretty aggressive call that I might not have made later in the game.
My partner was dealer and I ordered up

to them while I was holding

2 offsuit aces and a low card in 4th suit. My 4th suit was led and fortunately my partner was able to trump it. However holding

as well they don't lead it and lead into one of my aces and it gets trumped then my other ace gets trumped next trick and euchre happens as my RHO had the right also. If my partner had led Trump we would've won the hand.
It's infuriating when your partner failing to lead Trump gets you euched. I will never however get upset if I would've preferred a non Trump lead and we get euched. Just bloody lead Trump to your partner people.
