Tournaments FAQ

[Thorvald]

Hi,

Today I was about to play in my first tournament (Emperor of Tarepanda Cant Stop 86th). I registered yesterday and I was already online for about 20 mins before the beginning. I thought that when it woud be the time for me to play, I would receive a notification, private message or something like that. Nothing happened for around 20 mins after the scheduled start and when I checked the tournament page the scoresheet had my match already ended with me losing by not showing up. So how do the tournaments here really work? How do you get information who do you play against, when is it time for you to play etc.?

This is one more advertisement for a bug fix:

The bug makes Round Robin Tournaments
unfeasible for turn-based play.

And it’s easy to fix:
just remove a few lines of existing code.

Thanks!

Can someone ELI5 the "Opponent's points" column in the score table?

(eg https://en.boardgamearena.com/#!tournament?id=21042 - I have 10 in that column, no idea how it's calculated)

That is the sum of swiss tournament points that your opponents made in their games played till now.

Ah, Ok! thank you very much.

I could not find this answer in the FAQ, but how do I find out what tournaments I have registered for? Is there a link I am not seeing that will show me these?

When in the list of tournaments, click on "more filters" and tick the box "Tournaments I signed up for".

This does not seem to be correct.

I just finished a game of Roll for the Galaxy against a player who had 1 point. I won the match. However I still have 0 points listed in the "opponents points" column...

You can see the tournament here:

I just finished a game against player "giraffejoe" Furthermore, HIS "opponents points" column is also at 0, and I definitely already had 1 point!

So does this work in some other way, or is there a bug?

[dudi2]

Opponent points will be updated after each round of the swiss tournament, just before the next game for everyone starts.
