Board Game Arena

Competition is about comparing skills, which requires sufficient data to be meaningful. Let's say a person played 20 games per season and won 19 of them, are they a candidate to be "champion"? Their win rate is almost perfect. Another person played 100 games and won 80, can we say that it...

If Arena is optional then making minimum requirement is not required and this thread doesn't have any purpose. Those who don't like the current system can chose not to play this optional thing. A true champion will score more points playing the same number of games as everyone else, not playing 2x-1...

I also think that people from the same ip should not be able to play against each othe...

When you are just starting out (first 11 games) you gain or lose Elo 3 times as fast. For games 12-20 you gain or lose it twice as fast. This is to help players get to their natural Elo a bit quicker. Once more games are played it is assumed your rating is more steady and thus does not change as ea...

I have never used those filters, but I think so yes. Anyone over 100 should be able to join tables with "Average and above".

This is the summary of your games:
