Hi Novicethinker,
I just ran into your post and I am "glad" to see that I am not the only one experiencing problems with Multi-Club Arenas.
We have been running such events last year (2022-23) with up to 30 clubs (schools) and it has been "a pain in the neck" to put it mildly. For some reason the year before (2021-22) it was working OK. We think that this format has a lot of potential if it would work as it should. I have been trying to get some help from Chess.com but unfortunately it led nowhere.
Have you been able get some help or have you been able to make some progress?
Cheers
Generally if I challenge/invite multiple clubs in one go, all the clubs are challenged in one go. And if I am admin in some of the challenged clubs, they are added automatically on the list.
But just recently I have noticed that, that wasn't the case. I have challenged several clubs. I do not know what happened to other clubs, but some of the clubs I am admin in got added automatically; for rest of the clubs I am admin in I had to challenge-add them one by one.
This is the arena link - https://www.chess.com/play/arena/2632260
Then two of the clubs got added twice -
Please fix this problem.
