@Martin_Stahl: Those results are regularly incomplete. Here is an example:
Above you can see the results of all scoring clubs as they're shown online during roughly one hour after the end of the Arena: Screenshots are needed to document them.
Below you can see, what rests from these results in the Live Chess Tournaments List: Clubs are shown in the order of their results and you still see the number of points for the first three one. All other club results can't be seen anymore:
If you want check this, here is the link to the Arena: https://www.chess.com/tournament/live/arena/one-world-league-24h-summer-arena-1984776 Even if you download the Multi Club Arena results, you'll get only individual results, you won't get the club results.
Multi Club Arenas are an interesting format to manage live events for members of different clubs. The ONE WORLD League is running at least eight of these Arenas in a month with 30-50 participating clubs. As most of the participating clubs have members from all around the world, there is an increasing interest in 24 hours Arenas: They allow all members in all of the clubs to play some games at the moment which fits best for them.
It would be great, if there would be a similiar Multi Club option for Swiss system tournaments. If they could be managed by challenges to clubs like Multi Club Arenas, this would allow to manage very competitive tournaments for those of the members which like to participate in shorter, but more engaging tournaments. Swiss system tournaments allow more specific settings (e.g. rating ranges), which help to make them already challenging with the participation of a few players.
Beside this there are several improvements possible for Multi Club Arenas:
Since their start in September 2021 each live server restart destroys their multi club elements during preparation. As these live server restarts are mostly from Wednesday, 1 AM to Friday, 3 AM PT, Multi Club Arenas can be successfully managed only after these restarts and need to end before the next period. This is a very limiting factor to develop multi club tournaments in a competitive manner as it reduces significantly the time of preparation.
Other than for Swiss system tournaments members don't get alerts for upcoming Multi Club Arenas. They're shown in the list of upcoming events ... until their start: As it is possible to join Multi Club Arenas at any moment before their end, it would be great to get an alert at the moment registrations open and to see them in the events list as long as they can be joined. Until now admins of participating clubs have to manage this manually by posting a link to each of these Arena, which is another limiting factor to develop multi club tournaments.
From the end of Multi Club Arenas club results are shown roughly one hour online: After this period they disappear and can't be consulted e.g. as a part of the live tournaments' results. As a consequence it's still necessary to manage taking screenshots from the club results to show them e.g. in separate announcements to the members of participating clubs. It would be great to see the complete club results as a part of the "Live tournaments" results.
