See Current Arena Format

[Vol Jbolaz]

For people like me who suck at games, is there a way to see the current arena format for a game? My ELO isn't going to be high enough to play in the arena, but I'd like to create a simple table with the arena rules.

You'll find all the information on the game page, to the left of your ELO ranking.
You can click on "See more".

That shows a log of all the changes that have been made to the Arena format, but it's not easy to get the full picture that way. If you are above 100 Elo you can select "Arena" format and it'll select (and grey-out) all the appropriate options, but OP said they weren't yet to 100 so that's not an option.

I don't know of a good answer to their question, aside from either a) getting to 100 Elo, or b) you could post in the game's forum and ask for the full summary of the Arena settings.

1. Open that game page.
2. Scroll down to "history of my arena" (it will be empty since you haven't play yet, but available).
3. Click on "Show all seasons".
4. In top right corner you will have season rules.
5. From this point you can also see previous seasons, stats, masters, and rules.

Very nice! I stand corrected, and learned something today!

I'll just note that the link for "See season rules" is a bit small; for me at least it appears directly under the "End" time/date of the season.

But at least it works now. For the longest time that link was there, but wasn't actually functional (it just linked to the current page). It was very frustrating.

Funny that these are still open, so it seems fixing it was actually unintentional, not a response to the reports.

To clarify, it will be available if you haven't played arena, but have played the game. If you haven't ever played the game, it will look something like this.
But I discovered a way to handle even that situation:

How does one know how many tiers a given game has for the season?

Go to the Arena page for that game by going to a game's lobby (for example, search for it using the search function in the top left of most pages) and scroll down to "My Arena history." Then click "View all seasons."

If "My Arena history" does not appear on that page (for example, because you've never even played the game before), you can get to the Arena pages with this URL: https://boardgamearena.com/halloffame?game=[game #]&season=X

X is the season number (currently 25). The game # can be found by mousing over the "game in progress" link on the game page or right-clicking the link to save the address, which will contain the game # to insert above (without the brackets).

I tend to check the settings of an Arena game that season. So if I pull up the game history of say, the #1 Arena player and check their last Arena game, the settings for that game should tell me what I want to know.

X is the season number (currently 25). The game # can be found by mousing over the "game in progress" link on the game page or right-clicking the link to save the address, which will contain the game # to insert above (without the brackets).

Except that X is now 26, of course.

That was a quote from last season. Also, someone might be curious about something from a past season.
