List of top Elo?

According to my profile I am currently ranked 6th for ELO. Is there a way to see where 5th is at the moment? Since there is a top-5 achievement I wondered how close I am to it. I only found a top ranking list for arena rankings, not Elo ones, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re here sonewhere any...

Re: A stuck game, how to deal with it?

My clock is the one that is running so if nothing happens I will lose on time eventually

A stuck game, how to deal with it?

https://boardgamearena.com/10/backgammon?table=711014544 This is always showing as my turn, which it isn't. It's really annoying because I get led to it all the time. Also I suspect my opponent doesn't get led to it since she moved fast until we landed where we are now. How do we deal with such thin...

Re: Player out of time Multiplayer Elimination

Some make tournaments where only one player is eliminated each round to counteract this. They're nice but tend to last long. I would rather poke something in my eye than play this format. But having learned this lesson early in my BGA career, I exclusively play 2-player games now in tournaments. Wi...

Re: Exact time left?

I was wondering if there is a way to tell how much time you have left in a tournament game before you reach the 48 hour stage. I know they give days, but occasionally I'd like to know if it's 2 days and 2 hours or 2 days and 22 hours. Can this be done? Unfortunately the time isn't shown in hours un...

Re: Understanding ELO and rankings

Top 30% sounds modest.

Looking at entry lists in tournaments, 350 is usually in at least the top 20%, except for tournaments that dictate good players and above

Re: Player out of time Multiplayer Elimination

If two from five proceed to the next round and one player is skipped, then the two players that have been on the site the longest will proceed. As a relatively new player who likes to play tournaments I've been in this position several times (not just "2 from 5" but also "1 from 3&quo...

Entering tournaments, useful filter, tips?

When I look at tournaments they show me a long list of ones on all boards I've played here, which is a list that I expect will keep growing. But for most boards I've played I'm not qualified to participate in tournaments yet. Is there a way to only see tournaments you are actually qualified to enter...
