You must be a club admin or coordinator to create a live tournament.

I am an admin for a club and do not have the Arena option. It simply defaults to Swiss. Does anyone else have that problem?

For Arenas you have to create them from the Play interface, not the club sidebar.

Excellent, that worked. Thank you!
@Martin_Stahl follow up question - is it true that there is a 5 person minimum for the tournament to start? We are a slow chess club and trying to figure out how to set up a regular daily event people can join for a slow match. We've tried Swiss and it hasn't worked well, partly because of a 2-round minimum and folks can't commit to that length of time.
Considering whether a multi-hour arena option would be best, but good chance folks would have to wait a long time for a match, and if 5 is the minimum to start, it would be a challenge...

It's either 4 or 5. Been a while since I've tested with a smaller club.
