BlogNomic players take part in occasional boardgame tournaments on BoardGameArena.
On Discord, in the #online-board-games channel, you can react to the pinned message to opt-in to the @bga-ping-group group that will be pinged when new tournament signups are available.

If at least four people vote for a particular game, we start a tournament for it.
Feel free to edit the list above to include any suitable games that you think are worth playing. Tournaments are generally two-player - we can do 3+ player ones, but should probably be wary about those with a lot of short turns, as they'll take a while spread across timezones.
BlogNomic Random tournaments
Starting in August 2023, BlogNomic is playing a number of tournaments of randomly selected two-player games from the BGA collection.
Ground rules for those tournaments are (and by all means propose amendments on Discord):
- Each tournament is a random game from the list at BlogNomic_on_BoardGameArena/RandomGameList (derived from https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?specificTag=30), selecting from games that nobody has flagged as being a game they have already played.
- Players can only join a BN Random tournament if they have never played the game before.
- Players unfamiliar with a game are only allowed to read the game's rules: they cannot read up on strategy tips, or play any practice games.
- Tournaments will run in the Swiss format.
BN Tourney tournaments
A series of tournaments where players agree to play a series of games chosen by others in the group, without knowing in advance what will be picked.
Quoting Clucky:
- Everyone signs up ahead of time. Might limit it to 8 signups just to keep the numbers working right.
- Randomize the list of 8 players. In order, each one adds a game to the tournament. (If people are concerned with getting stuck playing a game they hate we could do a system that allows vetoes but I don't wanna over complicate things). Game must be playable with 2 people.
- Tournaments are swiss style, 3 games, played over the course of 2 weeks each. (Note that with 8 players swiss, in order to win you have to go 3-0 but you can still lose the first round and finish 2-1)
- After all 8 games have been played, see who has won the most tournaments and most games overall to be the Grand Champion
