Arena reset

Did all Agricola Arena players get reset down to Bronze (rather than from Elite to Silver as in previous seasons)? Or was my Elite performance so bad last season that I skipped down to Bronze as punishment? :D

There are only 3 tiers in Agricola arena (bronze, silver, elite), so everyone goes back to bronze in the new season. In games that have 4 or 5 tiers (with gold and plat added, e.g. Ark Nova or Terraforming Mars respectively), elite players start back in silver. So nothing to worry about, you are not an outlier :P

That's not correct. In previous seasons, Elite Agricola players started the next season in Silver.

Huhh really? Last season it was the same as now. I guess something was changed from earlier seasons and these last 2?

I definitely started the last season in Silver. This was my first game of last season: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=612783048

Grumbleguts is correct. Arena rules state the following:
For games with 2 or 3 different leagues, all players are decreased by 1 league.
I've filed a bug report for this issue: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=165354

yes, this error has happened in Tichu as well. all players (including myself) who were Elite at the end of S20 seem to have been relegated by 2 leagues below as opposed to just 1. i think BGA made a mistake, either by not announcing this new change or by wrongly relegating players for certain games.
