Could you be so kind to clarify on how xp tournaments work?
I created some of the private tournaments with 1 xp winning but some have got 262 xp f.e.

What is the reason? The number of the participants is the same (for about).
I limit it to the exact number of players.
How to create the private tournaments with more xp? What are the tips?
I wouldn't waste your time, I don't know exactly how it works but the xp is related to number of players and level of those players, but it's capped incredibly low at 300 xp, so it's really not worth worrying about. No-one is playing tournaments for the xp.

As an aside, maybe some point we should push for change on this, because this has come up a number of times recently (I wasn't even aware that many people were paying attention to xp), but the current system is so out of whack with achievement that it's silly. Like I literally think tournaments should be awarding 100x the xp they currently are. It should be much more scalable (ie. not all tournaments basically awarding the max, but that's probably more linked currently to how low the cap is), and the cap should probably be more like 30,000 than 300. Like when you compare the value of achievement of winning a big tournament it should be in the same ballpark at least of winning an Arena season (60k) or reaching #1 at a game (30k).

You registered for a turn-based tournament with each game lasting 10 days. You don't have to be online when turn-based tournaments begin. Heck, you could even probably skip a whole day and finish in time.
