Board Game Arena

When I create a game that restricts the karma (reputation) of the players to 75 and above, after some time, a 2nd game table with no karma (reputation) restriction automatically appears.
If enough people enter this 2nd table, it will automatically begin and kick me out of the 1st table. Most of the time, I want to stay in the 1st table which is restricted to players with better karma.

Thus, I want to disable this setting, but is there a way to do this?

Thanks for reading!

Are you using automated creating feature from specific game page? That is my guess. If so you probably can't turn that off. If you will use manual table creation from LOBBY page, that won't happen. At least I hope so. I'm using only LOBBY page, and thing like that never happened (table creating on itself with different options).

I'm currently creating my game tables from the button in the screenshot below. I assume this is the "automated creating feature"? If so, sorry, but I can't find the "lobby" page. Tried googling but I'm yet to find what "lobby" is - sorry, but could someone be kind to tell me where it is?

At the top of the page there's a white banner with links on it. The first one is called 'play now' in English, so probably something similar in Japanese. If you click that, that's the lobby.

Yes it is exactly that.

LOBBY is one you can find on link: https://boardgamearena.com/lobby

Or you can get to it directly from page top panel, one that has links to forum, games, play now (that's one to go to lobby) news and community (I have Polish interface so not sure that exac English names, but those or something simmilar )
