Board Game Arena

I recently got the trophy for 2nd place Elo for Euchre (although I promptly lost it and am further down the list now). I noticed the top player was quite a bit higher than anyone else; it seemed out of place (based on the random so I looked at their game history.

This user (who, let me be clear, does not appear to have done anything wrong), has been in a total of 11 Euchre games, and is listed as winning 10 of them. 10 of those 11 games were part of a tournament in January 2025 where every game ended by running out of time - 2 by expelling a player, and 8 by the "winner" being declared by thinking time (in the game I viewed the replay for, only 1 hand had been played). (This player also played 1 game in January 2026, which played to conclusion, and was victorious.)

Is there anything that can be done to remove this player from the Elo listings? It seems quite ridiculous to have an ELO leader who has only played one game to completion.

I asked in the forums about this and if they don't play, they will fall off ELO leaderboard after 2 months of inactivity in this game. So they should be gone in a month or so.

Thanks.

We'll find out if it happens soon! Hope it does, because I'm currently in second.

I guess I should confirm. They did fall off, but while I "ascended" to 1st, I didn't get the achievement until I played again (and was still in first).
