The format for the spell chess championship is completely terrible. First of all, the arena qualifiers are arena based which has many flaws in itself. A much better way would to have a swiss tournament. But the arena tournament also matches people against others with a similar rating instead of current points and record. This leads to the best spell chess players playing against the other best players and causes people who are not as good or people that are smurfing to win. Also, the tournament makes it so that it doesn't even matter if you win or lose. All that matters is playing as many games as possible and making those games quick, so forfeiting if the game is taking to long or if you are down a slight bit. This caused the winner of the second qualifier to have played more than twice as many games as most other players, as well as them having the worst win percentage out of the top 20
