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!
競技場第 9 季：開始吧！
恭喜上個賽季的所有參賽者和優勝者。 在過去的兩個賽季中，您已經能夠以玩家自己決定的遊戲模式享受比賽，這也讓競技場變得更加精彩！ 本賽季，BGA上的Arena比賽超過240萬場，這是Arena有史以來的絕對新紀錄！
但是等等，“競技場”到底是什麼？
競技場是BGA上的競技模式。 如果您掌握了一款遊戲並想用競技方式遊玩，這就是您可以使用的模式，這樣您就可以挑戰最優秀的玩家並獲得最多的經驗值。
競技場按每 3 個月結算一次。 成就會在每個賽季結束時頒發給最優秀的玩家。
在競技場中玩：選擇「遊玩」，然後選擇「競技場」而不是「簡易遊玩」。

競技場格式和大師
在最近的 2 個賽季中，是您（更確切地說是大師）為 Arena 選擇了遊戲格式：玩家編號、使用的選項、...
我們很高興看到這種方式有助於使 Arena 更受歡迎：感謝所有大師的明智建議和投票！
規則更新
本賽季競技場規則沒有變化。 這並不意味著我們對 Arena 的運行方式 100% 滿意，但玩家們似乎很欣賞當前的規則，因此我們希望暫時保留它們。
作弊
在上一季中發現了一些（罕見的）作弊案例。 您必須記住，在競技場作弊的玩家很容易被管理員、版主甚至一般玩家發現。 因此，不可能在不觸發警告的情況下嚴重濫用此不當行為。
我們的建議：請不要浪費時間試圖欺騙系統：這將消耗您大量的時間，最終您的所有努力都將付諸東流，您的帳號也將被刪除。
第 9 季現正推出。
新一季的競技場現已開放。
關於：降級的一些解釋
在每個賽季結束時，在頒發獲勝者獎章後，您將被降級。
某些自訂降級規則可能出於某種原因應用於遊戲（例如：我們決定減少聯賽數量），但一般情況下會發生以下情況：
- 對於有 6 或 5 個不同級別的比賽，所有玩家減少 3 個級別。
- 對於有 4 個不同級別的比賽，所有玩家減少 2 個聯賽。
- 對於有 2 個或 3 個不同級別的比賽，所有玩家都減少 1 個聯賽。
- 對於所有遊戲和所有級別，您的 Arena 積分數重置為 1，您的 AES（“Arena Elo值”）重置為 1500。
願幸運女神永遠眷顧你！
