Why only the 9x9 board size in arena mode (where's the variety)

    The last three seasons we've been using the 9×9 board instead of the 8×9 or 10×10 board and now we're using it again this season I'm honestly just curious why, why can't we use any of the other boards from time to time.

    I don't hate the 9×9 board I'm just getting a little tired of it.

    The 8×9 board is great for people who wanna get into competitive connect four in my opinion.

    The 10×10 board is nice for how big it is, while it doesn't feel as hard as the 9×9 it was a nice change of pace and I loved the feeling of it being much bigger with more opportunities in a certain way.

    We used to rotate these board sizes all the time and im just wondering, can we please go back to that?

    Honestly, I have no idea. I can see why they wouldn’t want to make 6x7 an arena mode, but there doesn’t seem to be a reason that they won’t do 10x10 for example.
