Turing machine arena mode

Hi,
The best player plays in easy mode wich 4 verifiers... Is he really the best at Turing machine ? The mode and the difficulty should be better taken into account.
Thanks for all you do in BGA :)

I haven't played Turing Machine yet, but doesn't everyone in Arena Mode always play the same variant in an BGA game? So it's not like the #1 player in arena would be playing an easier/harder variant than any other Arena Mode player.

Each player who create a table choose the mode and difficulty of the game. That's why I find this unfair...

For Arena Mode?

For ELO, I assume

Hm, the title had me expect Arena Mode.

Yes in arena mode. I choosed extreme and difficult and I've played many games. I 've just seen that there are rules for the 15th season (easy and classique). Why the arena mode isn't preset with these parameters ?

Yeah, I thought OP confused ELO with Arena: "The best player plays in easy mode wich 4 verifiers... Is he really the best at Turing machine"....it's possible to climb the ELO ladder by only playing on easy mode.

Arena mode isn't there to find the best player, sometimes ELO is better for that - except for the fact I state above the quote ^. Also, this is the first Arena season for Turing machine, and arena settings change every season.
