Setup game for other players

Post by Adam Badura »

Is it possible to setup games for other players? In particular it is for Troyes but I guess the rules are same for all games here.

We want to play a tournament. And the idea is that it would be simplest if organizer could setup all games and later trace their results (and progress). Is that possible here on Board Game Arena?

Officially, no. At least not that I'm aware of.

Unofficially......

A player can set up a table, and if they leave, the next player becomes the administrator of the table. So, an ideal situation would be in a game that allows n players, and n-1 players are to play each table. So, if the game allows 5 players:

Official creates table, sets all game parameters.
Invites Players A, B, C, and D (table now has 5 people around it)
Official leaves table. Player A is now the new administrator.

If the game only allows 4 players, Official will invite A, B, and C, and then Player A will have to invite Player D.

Realize, of course, that now Player A can change game parameters as well. Not an ideal situation, but a possible work-around.
