New Tournament Pages are here: Better, Faster, and Mobile-Friendly!

There's no option to invite players to the tournament. Tiebreakers can't be seen anywhere in the results. Please, get them back!

In single elimination. Tiebreaker is coin flip. Not older account. I hope nothing has changed there. But who knows what all we will discover changed. For the worse. 17 pages of comments. Maybe 3 positive.

You're right. The oldest account rule is only for ties in multiplayer elimination, not single elimination. https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... 24#p242124

I came to add to the "can't see tiebreakers" crowd.

There used to be a table which shows current standings, including games played, wins, losses, and point differential for round robin tournaments. It was really helpful in tracking where everyone is at. I can't see it in the current interface.

I don't like the recommended tournament. Especially as it keeps recommending tournaments I've already registered for!

Also the previous format had a simple sentence near the top of the tournament page saying you have registered for this tournament. It's really confusing without this as I have thought a few times I must have forgotten to register, especially as the full participant list is not shown

Tournaments should be realtime. Not turn based ! its really frustrating to play competitive and wait hours and hours for a single move of your opponent ....geez who agrees?

You're a Premium member. If you want real time tournaments, nothing is stopping you from hosting a real time tournament.

But before you do, maybe check out what happened in previous real time tournaments when someone tried to run them, and maybe you'll understand why it isn't a popular format.

Look up older real-time tournaments. At best, about 20% of those who sign up are ready to play a game when it starts, the other 80% get automatically ejected from the tournament by BGA for not joining the first game within 5 minutes. Of those 20% that play/enter a first game, then less than 50% of those will play/enter more than 2 games in a row. Example - if 160 people sign up then about 32 will play/enter 1 game, and 16 of them will play/enter anything more than 2 games.

At worst, about 5% of signups will play/enter one game, and 0% will play more than 2 games in a row.

Any realtime tournament with less than 75 signups probably won't go beyond one round. If a tournament has 200 signups and 7 games, then expect 10 players at most to complete the tournament.

Feel free to set up and host one yourself if you don't believe us

in addition to other issues reported by all tournament organizers I can add that the list of plays disappeared. To see the plays I have to go to one user and select his play. I need the log of plays to see statistics, best score and so on

This change is a tragedy

I'm this
