Unable to create a non-friendly game

[catch-me-if-u-can]

Hi,

It looks like whatever I am doing my games are ONLY friendly atm. I do NOT understand why? Am I doing something wrong when creating it? How can I make sure I am playing for ELO?

Thank you

Same here. All games are friendly.

The way things are currently set up, “friendly” is synonymous with “no time limit” and the opposite is also true—timed games are Elo games. If you set a time limit on your games, even just 1 move every 2 days, then you will be playing for Elo.

I used to be able to play time limit games for ELo. Is it not the case anymore?

All Games are friendly today. BGA Devs are you aware of this ?

I'm playing real-time, with normal/slow speed. Every game starts friendly. It stared happening yesterday.

Same here, basicly I cant open the games I want. If this isn't fixed soon I will cancel my subscription. They already were under maintenance yesterday and I thought they fixed it until today. Looks like they didn't.

Very strange that there is not any communication about this from BGA

You’ve played four ranked games of Ark Novs today, though. And only one “friendly”. So I guess I’m confused.

I second this!

You can change it yourself in advanced, but suddenly all my games start as friendly only.
