Starting a new turn-based arena game

Sorry in advance if this was posted somewhere and I missed it, but I was wondering what BGA's implementation on starting a new turn-based arena game is.

Basically, I've signed up for a turn-based Arena game. Understandably I can't double queue, but once a table is created I find that it takes a while before I can hop back in line for a new Arena game.

Do all players at the table have to make at least one move before I can create a new turn-based Arena game, or is there a set amount of time I have to wait before I can start a new game?

I don't think you have to wait for moves to be made. My understanding was once the game is started (eg. enough players have joined), you can queue for another immediately. What makes you think it takes a while to be able to queue again?

There is a text link/button approximately on the middle of the page that lets you start a new search.

I think OP is right, when you already have a game going the system seems to take longer to find another game (sometimes even hours or days).

This has never been confirmed, but I've noticed a pattern.

I think it is 10 minutes you have to wait between your last Arena game starting and being able to search for another one, at least that's what I've always found, in those 10 minutes you are just given a "Go to Game" option.

Look where the list of tables goes, there is a line of text you can click to start a new search, even though the normal interface is cluttered by a game in progress.
