Starting next week (July 1st), we will start a new format: Titled Tuesday for Ark Nova! (Inspired by Titled Tuesday from Chess.com, of course.)
All BGA experts (= peak elo of 500+) are eligible to participate. The goal is to provide quick, competitive matches outside the regular arena grind in a semi-casual setting against guaranteed good opponents. Sit down for an evening, play against other Ark Nova experts and try to beat the best!
Format: 5-game Swiss, real-time (no turn-based), Base game with regular arena settings (2p, same map, random map selection, alternative maps). There will be 15 minutes of thinking time per player and game (in practice, you will usually have 17-18 minutes, as there is a weird interaction where BGA adds one minute to your time if you discard during a break). In total, a Titled Tuesday will last for about 2.5-3 hours.
Titled Tuesday will take place each week at 9pm. There are two versions available:
- Early Titled Tuesday (Europe): 9pm CEST (e.g. Berlin, Paris) - https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=408001
- Late Titled Tuesday (Americas): 9pm CDT (e.g. Chicago, Mexico City) - https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=408002
(Each tournament needs at least 8 players to take place.)
If there is enough interest, we will add a version for Asia/Pacific eventually. But of course all players from these timezones are free to sign up for one of the other two if it fits their schedule!
Also, if the format turns out to be successful, there will also be an additional edition for MW: Marine Monday!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or shoot me a DM. Hope to see some of you on Tuesday!
