Board Game Arena

I'd like it to be 1 point games with doubling cube which would impact scoring and a rematch option

I have been playing for some time on BGA and last months I ventured to try competitive play as well and I joint various arena seasons. After playing over hundreds games on Arena competitive play, I realized that the way the ranking works is quite deceiving and incentivizes no play. I found out that...

First, ELO is irrelevant in the Arena matchmaking, so adding restrictions will only affect normal games. There is a filter for Arena settings, in the play now/Arena page. You open the filters for your game (the cog icon under your league icon), then show advanced options at the bottom of the pop up...

No, what Euklid is saying is correct as I understand it. Everyone's EAS *IS* changing every arena match. You just don't see it until you reach elite. When you play an arena match 3 things occur: 1- visible ELO adjustment 2 - visible arena adjustment (bronze/silver/gold/etc) 3 - EAS adjustment (invi...

Yes, Remkar, that was what I tried to say. Your explanation is probably clearer than mine. I want to give the example with numbers. Lets take a recent game that BackGa won against TAVLII: BackGa: ELO-Change 280 -> 289 (+9) EAS-Change 1595 -> 1611 (+16) TAVLII: ELO-Change 220 -> 212 (-8) EAS-Change ...

But most importantly, the FAQ does not mention that levels have an impact on EAS (as you claim) because that is not the case. EAS is hidden until you reach Elite. Therefore EAS is impacted by levels when calculating scores, Because it is hidden, therefore EAS is impacted by levels? :? As others poi...

You are incorrect. The FAQ does not even mention many well-known facts (e.g. that every player starts with a EAS of 1500 at the beginning of each league). The FAQ does not elaborate how EAS is calculated (identical to ELO). How can it be identical if we end with way different ELO and EAS? It is two...

I see now. On 13.7. several leagues were awarded incorrectly. This seems clear - I just did not understand from the previous posts. And the very first screenshot that BackGa posted still seems without any errors for me. The player was appearing in top 3 with SAE score on backgammon main page wherea...
