Congratulations to all participants and winners from the previous season. For the past 2 seasons, you have been able to enjoy the games in the format decided by players themselves, and this makes the Arena even more exciting! This season, more than 2.4 million Arena games have been played on BGA, which is an absolute record since the Arena exists!
But wait, what exactly is "the Arena?"
The Arena is the competitive mode on BGA. If you master a game and want to play it competitively, this is THE mode to use, so you can challenge the best players and get the most experience points.
The Arena is organized in seasons of 3 months each. Achievements are awarded to the best players at the end of each season.
To play in the Arena: select "Play" and then choose "Arena" instead of "Simple game."
Arena format and Gurus
In the latest 2 seasons, it was you (more exactly the gurus) who chose the game formats for the Arena: player number, options used, ...
We are very happy to see that this way of doing things contributed to making the Arena more popular: thank you to all gurus for their smart suggestions and their votes!
Rules updates
No Arena rules are changing this season. It does not mean we are 100% satisfied about how the Arena is running, but you seem to appreciate the current rules so we want to keep them as they are for now.
Cheating
Some (rare) case of cheating have been spotted in the previous season. You have to keep in mind that a player cheating the Arena is quite easy to spot, by admins, moderators, and even by simple players. Thus, it is impossible to heavily abuse the system without triggering warnings.
Our advise: please do not lose time trying to cheat the system: it will consume an incredible amount of your time, and at the end all your efforts will be ruined and your account will be removed.
** Season 9 is NOW Launched. **
The new Arena is now open for its new season.
Some Explanation About: Relegations
At the end of each season, after winners have been awarded, you are relegated.
Some custom relegation rules may have been applied to a game for some reason (ex: we decided to reduce the number of leagues), but in general here is what happens:
-
For games with 6 or 5 different leagues, all players are decreased by 3 leagues.
-
For games with 4 different leagues, all players are decreased by 2 leagues.
-
For games with 2 or 3 different leagues, all players are decreased by 1 league.
-
For all games and all leagues, your number of Arena points is reset to 1, and your AES ("Arena Elo") is reset to 1500.
** It's up to you to find the way to the elite!

May the odds be ever in your favor!
竞技场第 9 赛季：出发！
祝贺上赛季的所有参赛者和获胜者。 在过去的两个赛季中，您已经能够以玩家自己决定的比赛模式去享受比赛，这让竞技场更加精彩！ 本赛季在BGA上进行了超过240万场竞技场比赛，这是有竞技场比赛以来绝对的新纪录！
但是等等，“竞技场”到底是什么？
竞技场是BGA上的竞技模式。 如果您掌握了一款桌游并想以竞技方式去玩它，这是可以使用的模式，因此您可以挑战最优秀的玩家并获得最多的经验值。
竞技场按每三个月一个赛季去组织。 成就会在每个赛季结束时授予最优秀的玩家们。
在竞技场中玩：选择“玩”，然后选择“竞技场”而不是“简单游戏”。

竞技场模式和大师
在最近的 2 个赛季中，是您（更确切地说是大师们）为竞技场选择了游戏模式：玩家编号、使用的选项、...
我们很高兴看到这种方式有助于使竞技场更受欢迎：感谢所有大师的明智建议和投票！
规则更新
本赛季没有竞技场规则发生变化。 这并不意味着我们对竞技场的运行方式 100% 满意，但您似乎很欣赏当前的规则，因此我们希望暂时保留它们。
作弊
在上一季中发现了一些（罕见的）作弊案例。 您必须记住，在竞技场作弊的玩家很容易被管理员、版主甚至普通玩家发现。 因此，不可能在不触发警告的情况下严重滥用系统。
我们的建议：请不要浪费时间试图欺骗系统：这将消耗您大量的时间，最终您的所有努力都将付诸东流，您的帐户将被删除。
第 9 季现已推出。
新竞技场现已为新赛季开放。
关于：降级的一些解释
在每个赛季结束时，在获胜者被授予后，您将被降级。
某些自定义降级规则可能出于某种原因应用于游戏（例如：我们决定减少联赛数量），但一般情况下会发生以下情况：
- 对于有 6 或 5 个不同联赛的比赛，所有玩家减少 3 个联赛。
- 对于有 4 个不同联赛的比赛，所有玩家减少 2 个联赛。
- 对于有 2 个或 3 个不同联赛的比赛，所有玩家都减少 1 个联赛。
- 对于所有游戏和所有联赛，您的 Arena 积分数重置为 1，您的 AES（“Arena Elo”）重置为 1500。
愿机会永远对你有利！
