Live Arena
Hi all mates and friends, first I would thank who made me admin even I don't want, but I will try to do my best, so I think Live Arena between our members is not a big problem especially if I set it for 24 hrs, so if 4 players at least register it will continue for 24 hrs when any mate can join us and play, also no need to play the first game just register your name then go offline, but first I would ask about the appropriate time to be online and format with time control, good luck all ![]()
Arenas are timed, open-rating tournaments where a large group of people battle for the most points. Points are gained by both drawing and winning games. When you win more than game in a row, you'll receive bonus points. The three players who have the most points when the timer is up will be announced as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place respectively.
When the timer runs out, all in-progress games will be aborted and will not count towards your Arena score. You will not be able to finish the game after the timer is up.
Arenas do not follow typical tournament format (swiss, round-robin, etc.). In an Arena, as soon as one game ends, you may opt to be paired again immediate by tapping “Next Game.” There is almost no down-time between games, and no rounds to be completed. This allows you to join, withdraw, and rejoin whenever you'd like so long as the Arena still has time left. All arenas are open rating, however, the server will try to match you with an opponent having a similar rating.
Arena Scoring System:
- Loss: +0 points
- βDraw: +1 point
- Win: +2 points
- Second win in a row: +3 points
- Third (or higher) win in a row: +4 points
(Note: To encourage fair play, Arena games require you to play at least 20 moves before offering a draw, or at least 10 before resigning.)
