How to view results of and see my previous tournaments?

Where can I find past tournaments I've played in to see the results?

It's not clear whether by "results" you mean the outcome of games you played in the tournament, the overall tournament standings, or both. In general, go to the Play Now page (link in my signature) and change the left option to Tournaments (instead of Simple Game or Arena), then fiddle with the options. Or use this link where I already fiddled with the options based on what I think you're looking for:
https://boardgamearena.com/tournamentli ... &full=true

This filter will find all past tournaments you registered for where the whole tournament has completed.

If you are interested in your own results, within each tournament page in the list you can go to the part at the bottom that lists all the games that were played, then click on your own username in the "Players" column to have it filter down to just the games you played in that tournament.

As an example, here is a screencap showing the top of the list, of my recent completed tournaments: https://snipboard.io/PyNUai.jpg Some comments/questions:

1. The second column shows the number of entrants and the maximum allowable entrants (e.g. "3/3", "37/512"). That information would make sense in the case of a "planned" tournament (i.e. one set to begin in the future), but when the tournament is completed, or in progress, we usually don't care about what the maximum allowable number of entrants had been. It's slightly confusing to include the information, because at first I thought it was my own final ranking in the tournament standings.

2. For completed tournaments (and perhaps in-progress tournaments), it would be useful to include my ranking.

3. The fourth column for all these tournaments has the text "This Tournament has ended." But in at least two cases (the Crash tournament, 7th in the list; and the Connect Four tournament at the very bottom), the tournament did not even begin because it did not obtain the minimum number of signups. It would be preferable in those instances, for the fourth column to say "This Tournament did not run" instead of saying "This Tournament has ended".

4. In the fourth column, two of the list entries have a yellow star with the text in bold "You participated in this Tournament". What's special about those two?

1-3 should be submitted as suggestions. As for 4, I just went through my list and I can why some have gold stars. It definitely isn't based on a top 3 finish or something like that.

I speculate it is shown when you are eliminated in the 1st round of a tournament. I only get the stars in my list shown in such case.
(Maybe originally it was intended as an acknowledgement of participation if you don't get any other tournament badge. But of course it's weird to have it in that particular place. Or they intended to show tournament badges there, too, which then never happened.)

All my single-elimination or multi-player elimination tournaments have gold stars regardless of where I placed. In only one of them did I get knocked out in round one. In another, I made the semis. So it looks like a participation trophy in single- or multi-player elimination tournaments.

My one example of a gold star that was not in a single- or multi-player elimination tournament is one where Stage 1 was Swiss, and Stage 2 was single-elimination. I did not advance out of the group stage, but it seems like I got the gold star because due to Stage 2 it was considered a single-elimination tournament.

But I mostly play Swiss where you can't be eliminated. None of my Swiss tournaments have gold stars whether I won or came in last.

I bet you get that notation, "You participated in this Tournament", when the tournament continues after you are eliminated from it. So it's only possible in Groups, Single-Elimination, and Multiplayer-Elimination tournaments which began. It makes sense when looking at a list of in-progress tournaments, indicating you participated in the tournament but are not currently participating. However, retaining that notation when the tournament reaches its end just creates puzzlement.

This makes the most sense. And if this is the explanation, then it indeed has created unnecessary puzzlement. Partly because there is alreasy a filter for games you registered for, so it seems unnecessary given that you could get that information if you wanted it.

There was a recent update where you get 1-2 xp and a badge for every tournament completed, even if you didn't finish in the top 3. Previously, you only were awarded xp for a tournament if you finished in the top 3.

300xp for winning a 100+ person tournament is way too little. There's a 300xp cap on tournaments, no matter how many people join. You hit the cap after 20-50 people join.

This doesn't explain the gold star in the list of tournaments itself as shown in the screenshot Matt linked to above.
